Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane (C3H8), primarily butane (C4H10) and, most commonly, mixes including both propane and butane, depending on the season - in winter more propane, in summer more butane. So that people can smell the gas (for safety) chemicals that smell are added - ethanethiol, thiophene and amyl mercaptan.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a mixture of predominantly alkane hydrocarbons, with either propane or butane usually present in greatest amount and both of these almost always present.
Physical and chemical properties of LPG
LPG stands for Liquified Petroleum Gas, but is almost always construed as meaning Liquified Propane gas. Propane is an alkane with the chemical formula C3H8.
Burning of LPG is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the LPG (composed of hydrocarbons) and oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and new substances like carbon dioxide and water vapor. The original LPG molecules are transformed into different molecules during the combustion process.
The process of LPG turning from liquid to gas is a physical change, not a chemical change. It involves a change in state, from liquid to gas, without any alteration in the chemical composition of the LPG molecules.

LPG + O2---------combustion-------→ CO2 + H2O
When LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is burnt, it undergoes combustion, which is a chemical reaction between the hydrocarbons in LPG (such as propane and butane) and oxygen from the air. The products of the combustion reaction are carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy. The chemical reaction equation for the combustion of propane can be represented as: C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O + heat.
Yes, the conversion of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to gas and burning it involves chemical reactions. The combustion of gas (which consists mainly of propane and butane) with oxygen results in the release of heat, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. This process involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds, making it a chemical reaction.
A chemical called ethanethiol, also known as ethyl mercaptan, is added to LPG to give it a distinct odor for safety reasons. This odorant helps detect gas leaks as LPG itself is colorless and odorless.
