In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane.
In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive.
Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
What else can I help you with?
Why are felsic eruptions more explosive than mafic eruptions?
Felsic magmas have higher silica content, making them more viscous and prone to trapping gas bubbles. When trapped gas pressure builds up, it can lead to a more explosive eruption. Mafic magmas, on the other hand, have lower silica content and are less viscous, allowing gas to escape more easily, resulting in less explosive eruptions.
Are gasoline fumes heavier than air?
Bottled LPG is heavier than air That why it is recommended to place the gas bottle outside of the cabin. Any gas leaks from the bottle being inside, would collect in the bottom of the boat causing a very explosive mixture
Does gas in lava makes it more or less explosive?
Gas in lava can make it more explosive. When gas bubbles within the lava are trapped and then released during an eruption, it can lead to more violent explosions. The pressure from the gas causes the lava to fragment into smaller pieces, creating explosive eruptions.
Is chlorine gas explosive?
Chlorine gas itself is not explosive, but it can react with certain substances to form explosive compounds. It is a highly reactive and toxic gas that can cause respiratory issues and irritation if inhaled.
Is sulfur explosive?
Sulfur itself is not explosive, but it can support combustion and may become explosive when mixed with other substances, such as saltpeter or charcoal, to form gunpowder. Pure sulfur typically combusts to produce sulfur dioxide gas rather than an explosion.
How explosive is gasoline compared to other common fuels?
Gasoline is more explosive than many other common fuels, such as diesel and natural gas. It has a higher volatility and flammability, making it more prone to combustion when exposed to a spark or flame.
Why is it more likely that a nearly empty gas tank could explode?
Fumes. More explosive than the gas itself.
What is a natural gas vehicle and what is natural gas?
Natural gas is a cleaner and more efficient form of fuel than gasoline. There are many kinds of vehicles that run on natural gas, and gasoline vehicles may be converted to do so. They are slightly more expensive than gasoline vehicles, but they save you a lot of money on fuel, and are safer for the environment.
Is gasoline more dense than both helium and hydrogen?
Much more dense. They are the two lightest gasses in the universe, and gasoline is a liquid, which is always denser than a gas.
Is natural gas more efficient than liquified gasoline?
Yes, natural gas is more energy-efficient than liquified gasoline. It burns more cleanly and efficiently, producing less greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy. Additionally, natural gas can be more cost-effective and abundant compared to liquified gasoline.
Is transporting gas or liquid more expensive?
Gas is a liquid, unless you are referring to Natural Gas which cost more to transport than oil which is used to manufacture gasoline.
Does hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt more explosive.
Why are felsic eruptions more explosive than mafic eruptions?
Felsic magmas have higher silica content, making them more viscous and prone to trapping gas bubbles. When trapped gas pressure builds up, it can lead to a more explosive eruption. Mafic magmas, on the other hand, have lower silica content and are less viscous, allowing gas to escape more easily, resulting in less explosive eruptions.
Is gasoline a depressant or hallucinogen or stimulant?
It's not. Gasoline can poison you and kill you.
Will an explosive eruption have more gas and be more dense than an explosive flow or would it be less gaseous and less viscous?
if the volume is bigger than the other gass and the gass is flamable methan, yes it will be more dence than the other when explodes or is ignited, the reason is that the gas will have less time to spread.
Does water vapor affect how explosive a volcano is?
Yes. More gas trapped in magma leads to a more explosive eruption. Water vapor is the most abundant gas in magma.
Why is gas typically cheaper than electricity?
For vehicles, electricity has a lower cost per mile than gasoline. For home use, electric heating units are cheaper than those that use oil or a mix of oil and gas for home heating. Overall electricity can be created in more ways than gasoline so there are more sources of it whereas gasoline and petrol production is based on the cost per barrel of oil.
