because propane is a gas and at different temperatures or pressures it's density varies a lot in the same size container. Once pressurized, it will liquify. So to measure it fairly, it is measured by wieght.

What does a full 5 gal propane tank weigh?

What is difference between propane and commercial propane?
The difference is the bonds between the first pair of carbons. A Carbon atom requires 4 bonds in a molecule. In Propane, the three carbons have 1 bond between each of them, and the rest of their bonds are used for hydrogen, resulting in a C3H8 molecule. In Propene, the first 2 carbons will have a double bond, resulting in 2 less hydrogens in the molecule, C3H6. The difference between alkanes and alkenes are that a double bond is shared between a pair of the carbon atoms. In pro-2-ene, this would be the 2nd and 3rd carbon sharing a double bond. In just propene, it's the 1st and 2nd.
Constituents of LPG?
Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane, mixes that are primarily butane, and the more common, mixes including both propane (60%) and butane (40%), depending on the season---in winter more propane, in summer more butane. Propylene and butylenes are usually also present in small concentration. A powerful odorant, ethanethiol, is added so that leaks can be detected easily. The international standard is EN 589
