kerosene is denser
Petrol is more flammable than kerosene because petrol has a lower flash point and autoignition temperature. This means petrol is more likely to ignite at lower temperatures compared to kerosene.
In petrol, the combustion of hydrocarbons present is complete and they burn with blue flame. However, in kerosene, the combustion is not complete. It burns with smoky flame accompanied by the release of unburnt carbon atoms. Therefore, petrol is regarded as a better fuel than kerosene.
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
A fraction of kerosene formed during the process of distillation of crude oil. It is popularly used as an aircraft fuel.
Yes, petrol is soluble in kerosene as they are both hydrocarbon-based fuels. Mixing the two together should result in a homogeneous solution.
Petrol is more flammable than kerosene because petrol has a lower flash point and autoignition temperature. This means petrol is more likely to ignite at lower temperatures compared to kerosene.
If we dissolve kerosene in petrol running vehicle the petrol filtrer in the car will be damaged and also the pump.
It produces less soot. Kerosene is refined one more time then petrol and so this makes it more pure. Its like comparing olive oil and extra virgin olive oil.
Yes, kerosene is generally more viscous than petrol (gasoline). Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, and kerosene, being a heavier hydrocarbon, has a higher viscosity compared to the lighter hydrocarbons found in petrol. This difference in viscosity affects their handling, combustion properties, and applications in engines and fuel systems.

Fule (oil disile ) 250-350
fractional distillation
Bitumen is the most viscous among petrol, diesel, gas, and kerosene. Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, and bitumen is a heavy, tar-like substance with a high viscosity. In contrast, petrol and gas are lighter and flow more easily, while diesel has a moderate viscosity, higher than petrol but lower than bitumen. Kerosene sits between petrol and diesel in terms of viscosity.
No! Yes! Low performance spark ignition engines in boats and tractors commonly use kerosene as a fuel. Some need to be started on petrol then switched to kerosene.
The correct increasing order of evaporation is: water, alcohol, kerosene, petrol. Water evaporates the fastest due to its low boiling point, followed by alcohol, kerosene, and then petrol, which has the highest boiling point.
Fractional distillation is used to separate the components of petroleum. Petrol (gasoline) evaporates at a lower temperature than kerosene evaporates at.
