Description
LPG is preferred as an energy source in many industries due to its high availability and suitable flammability.
Physical State: It is gaseous at normal temperature and pressure but is compressed into a liquid for storage and transportation.
Color and Odor: Naturally colorless and odorless, but a sulfurous odor is typically added to detect leaks.
Density: Approximately 0.51 to 0.58 grams per cubic centimeter in liquid form.
Boiling Point: Ranges from -42 °C (propane) to -0.5 °C (butane).
Chemical Composition: Primarily consists of light hydrocarbons such as propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀).
Reactivity: Stable under normal conditions but ignites easily in the presence of oxygen and heat.
Flammability: Highly flammable with a low flash point.
Solubility: Insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone.
Chemical Stability: Stable but can explode when exposed to flame, excessive heat, or high pressure.
