Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
No, kerosene is not miscible with carbon tetrachloride. Miscibility of liquids depends on their relative polarities and molecular structures. Kerosene is a nonpolar solvent, while carbon tetrachloride is a polar solvent, which makes them immiscible.
Kerosene is a mixtute of chemical compounds, hydrocarbons, that contain from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.s
It's the amount of Sulphur in kerosene. It is measured in ppm or un %m/m. Sulphur content is important due to it's relation with SOx emissions, an important contaminant that cause health impacts on humans and ecological impacts. Also, it causes acid rain.
Due to high percentage of carbon the kerosene oil is not converted inti carbon dioxide and water on combustion but some quantity of the carbon is escaped as unburned particles which are responsible for smoke or its black colour. flame is due to emmition of light at slower rate.
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content.
Kerosene reacts with an ample supply of oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide from all the carbon content of kerosene and water from all the hydrogen content of kerosene.
No, carbon dioxide does not dissolve in kerosene. Kerosene is a nonpolar solvent, while carbon dioxide is a nonpolar gas, so they do not have a strong affinity for each other.
No, kerosene is not miscible with carbon tetrachloride. Miscibility of liquids depends on their relative polarities and molecular structures. Kerosene is a nonpolar solvent, while carbon tetrachloride is a polar solvent, which makes them immiscible.
Kerosene is a hydrocarbon mixture primarily composed of alkanes, which are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. So, the key elements stored in kerosene are carbon and hydrogen.

Carbon and Saturated Hydro carbons
It evolves CO2 when burnt. Kerosene is made up of C and H
When kerosene vapor is burned, it undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat. Incomplete combustion can also result in the formation of carbon monoxide and soot particles.
Burning kerosene produces a visible light spectrum that includes mainly yellow, orange, and red colors. The colors seen depend on various factors such as temperature, combustion efficiency, and impurities in the kerosene.
Petrol, is different from Kerosene because the hydrocarbons that you find in Petrol will generally have less hyrdogen and carbon atoms than Kerosene would have. E.g. the hydrocarbons that make up Petrol may have in between 4 to 12 carbon and 10 to 26 hydrogen atoms, whereas Kerosene would have between 6 to 16 carbon and 14 to 34 hydrogen atoms.
Kerosene is saturated, because it only contains single carbon-carbon covalent bonds. Kerosene is actually a mixture of more than one straight-chain or branched alkane hydrocarbons, but none of them feature double or triple bonds, so the Lewis structure indicates it is saturated.
