Gasoline should ideally be stored in an airtight container (to prevent oxidation or water vapor mixing in with the gas) that can withstand the vapor pressure of the gasoline without venting (to prevent the loss of the more volatile fractions) at a stable cool temperature (to reduce the excess pressure from liquid expansion and to reduce the ...
Swallowing gasoline does not generally require special emergency treatment, as long as it goes into the stomach and not the lungs; inducing vomiting can make it worse. [495] A chloroform-soaked rag cannot instantly incapacitate a person. [496] It takes at least five minutes of inhaling an item soaked in chloroform to render a person unconscious.
In terms of chemical potential, at the boiling point, the liquid and gas phases have the same chemical potential. Adding a nonvolatile solute lowers the solvent’s chemical potential in the liquid phase, but the gas phase remains unaffected. This shifts the equilibrium between phases to a higher temperature, elevating the boiling point.
The expansion of the mixture is the result of vaporization of water and CO 2 inside the container. The gases inflate the mixture to form a snake-like shape, and give off a burned sugar smell. [1] The granularity of the sugar can greatly affect the reaction: powdered sugar reacts very quickly but sugar cubes take longer to react. [2]

Customers were getting some gasoline at the station Thursday morning but signs on pumps showed the station was not selling 87 or 89 grade unleaded gasoline. Details scant due to state involvement
“I don't know if anyone's ever had a burst water pipe,” he said. “When Zooey and I bought our home in L.A. and we were renovating, my very first water bill was $5,500. I just about lost my mind.
