Which burns slower kerosene or gasoline?

Kerosene burns slower than gasoline because it has a higher flash point and is less volatile. This means that kerosene requires more time and heat to ignite and burn compared to gasoline.


How long does it take for gasoline to turn to kerosene?

Gasoline and kerosene are both derived from crude oil but have different boiling points due to their molecular composition. Gasoline has a lower boiling point and evaporates faster than kerosene. There isn't a specific time frame for gasoline to turn into kerosene as they are distinct products with different properties.


Do things float on kerosene more than oil?

No, things do not float more on kerosene than oil because both kerosene and oil have similar densities. In general, objects will float on a liquid if their density is lower than that of the liquid.


Is kerosene more viscous than bitumen?

No, kerosene is not more viscous than bitumen. Kerosene is a low-viscosity liquid, typically used as a fuel, while bitumen is a highly viscous, thick substance often used in road construction and roofing. The viscosity of bitumen can be many orders of magnitude higher than that of kerosene, making it much more resistant to flow.


What is kerosene and for what could be used?

Kerosene is a fraction of petroleum that is less volatile than gasoline. Kerosene was first used in lamps as a replacement for whale oil. Its main use now is as jet aircraft fuel (usually JP-1 but there are higher grades), it is also used as fuel in some rocket motors (usually RP-1 but there are higher grades), also kerosene heaters, etc.

Why is Kerosine safer than Gasoline?

Kerosene is considered safer than gasoline because it has a higher flash point, which means it is less likely to ignite at normal temperatures. Additionally, kerosene produces less flammable vapors compared to gasoline, reducing the risk of accidental fires or explosions.

Why is E85 so expensive compared to traditional gasoline?

E85 is more expensive than traditional gasoline because it is a blend of 85 ethanol and 15 gasoline, and producing ethanol is more costly than extracting and refining crude oil to make gasoline. Additionally, the infrastructure for distributing E85 is not as widespread as that for gasoline, which can also contribute to its higher price.


Does Ethanol release more Energy than Kerosene?

Kerosene releases more energy then ethanol but it is harder to put into engines that run on gasoline already.

Why is diesl fuel so muck higher then gasoline?

Diesel fuel is usually expensive than gasoline because, diesel undergoes many expensive processes in the refinery than gasoline.


Why are cars powered by petrol?

Because liquids like benzene, kerosene and gasoline posess a HUGE amount of energy per liter, they are easy to use, and they are not too expensive. Remember that in the United States, gasoline sold for less than the cost of springwater for many decades!


Are diesel engines more reliable than gasoline engines?

Yes, diesel engine will last much longer than gasoline engines. They are built much stronger but are also more expensive to build.


Why is home heating oil more expensive than gasoline?

Home heating oil is typically more expensive than gasoline because it is a refined product that requires additional processing to meet specific heating requirements. Additionally, the demand for home heating oil is generally lower than the demand for gasoline, which can also contribute to its higher price.
