What is more flammable petrol diesel gas kerosine bitumen?
Petrol and kerosene are more flammable than diesel, gas, and bitumen. Diesel and gas require higher temperatures to ignite, while bitumen is a thick, viscous substance with a higher flash point, making it less flammable than the other options.
What is a highly flammable liquid obtained by distillation?
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid obtained by distillation of petroleum. It is commonly used as a fuel for various internal combustion engines.
Is methane more flammable as oxygen?
Yes, methane is more flammable than oxygen. Methane is a highly flammable gas that can ignite easily in the presence of a spark or flame. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it can support combustion, making the combination of methane and oxygen highly explosive.
When gas contains 10 percent ethanol how much ethanol is in a gallon of gas?
For every gallon of gas containing 10% ethanol (referred to as E10 gas), it will contain 1/10th gallon of ethanol (about 12 ounces by volume). Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it).
Can you mix non ethanol gas with ethanol gas?
It is generally not recommended to mix non-ethanol gas with ethanol gas, as this can affect the performance and efficiency of your vehicle. It is better to use one type of fuel consistently to avoid potential engine issues.
What burns better than gas?
The question is vague,what is the question specifically; better as in more flammable, slower burning, etc.
What kind of gas do you put in a 2005 Lincoln town car?
Regular 87 Octane with no more than 10% Ethanol
Is helium more flammable then hairspray?
No, helium is not flammable because it is an inert gas that does not react with other substances. In contrast, hairspray typically contains flammable ingredients such as alcohol or hydrocarbons that can ignite and burn.
Is gasoline more explosive than gas?
Gasoline is more explosive than natural gas. Gasoline is a liquid fuel that vaporizes easily and can create a highly flammable mixture with air, while natural gas is primarily composed of methane which is less explosive than gasoline.
What state is gasoline in at room temperature?
Gasoline is a liquid at room temperature and pressure. It evaporates easily, which is why it can form vapors that are flammable.
What makes a car burn more gas than usual?
Possibilities:Higher proportion of ethanol in the fuelA lot of extra weight in the vehicle
Why is super unleaded gas in Iowa cheaper than unleaded 87?
Because it has Ethanol in it. The Ethanol increases the octane and lowers the price.AnswerBecause it has ethanol in it. Ethanol actually decreases the power of gasoline, and subsequently decreases mileage as well. Interestingly, it also makes gasoline more expensive- BUT - this is Iowa, and the government is subsidizing the addition of ethanol to gasoline. In Missouri, where the government does not subsidize, gasoline with ethanol is MORE expensive than its Iowa Counterpart. Long story short, its cheaper because of government subsidies.
