because it is at atmospheric pressure vapour pressure is also very important
Petrol and kerosene can be separated by a process called fractional distillation. Since there is a 25-degree Celsius difference in their boiling points, they can be heated, and the component with the lower boiling point (in this case petrol) will vaporize first and can be collected separately, leaving kerosene behind.
Yes - all liquids can with the exception of Liquid Helium.
No. It is a liquid and a component of petrol/gasoline.
Yes, the viscosity of petrol can change with temperature. As temperature increases, the viscosity of petrol decreases, making it flow more easily. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the viscosity of petrol increases, making it flow more slowly.
Yes, petrol expands when heated. As the temperature rises, the molecules in petrol move more vigorously, causing the liquid to occupy a larger volume. This thermal expansion can affect fuel storage and efficiency, which is why it's important to store petrol in temperature-controlled environments.

Petrol has a high ignition temperature, which means it requires a certain amount of heat to ignite. The autoignition temperature of petrol is around 246 degrees Celsius, which is higher than typical ambient temperatures. This is why petrol does not catch fire spontaneously at normal temperatures.
The critical temperature of gasoline is the temperature at which it becomes combustible and varies according to the pressure the gas is under. On average this temperature is 241 degrees Celsius.
Exactly the way you measure the density of anything else. -- Procure a clean, representative sample of the substance, any size. -- Measure the mass of the sample. -- Measure the volume of the sample. -- Take the numbers out of the laboratory and back to your cubicle. -- Divide the sample's mass by its volume. -- The quotient is the density of the substance.

Petrol, also known as gasoline, has a flash point of around -45 degrees Celsius but does not have a melting point since it is a liquid at room temperature. However, petrol can combust at high temperatures, rather than melting.
Any where between 1500-3000 Fahrenheit (800-1700 Celsius) Type in "Martin Vagn Hansen thesis" in Google, You will find his thesis on measuring flame temps in IC engines.
Yes - all liquids can with the exception of Liquid Helium.
The precise boiling point will vary, due to the incredibly complex nature of ingredients that go into your average forecourt petrol, but around 95oC at a standard atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/boiling-points-fluids-gases-d_155.html
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
