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.

Is Burning of LPG physical or chemical change?

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.


When lpg comes out from the cylinder turns to liquid to gas.is this a chemical change?

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.


What is the chemical equation for combustion of LPG?

What is the chemical reaction in LPG is burnt?

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.


Is conversion of LPG to gas and burning gas a chemical reaction?

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.


What gas mix with LPG for smell?

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.
