Propane, butane, and methane are all flammable gases used in fireplaces (natural gas is mostly methane, liquefied petroleum gas mostly propane). Gases can act as asphyxiant gases [16] or cause gas explosions [citation needed] if they are allowed to accumulate unburned. Ethanol (a liquid, also sold in gels) fires can also cause severe burns. [17]
The gas would smell of rotten eggs when burnt; The gas-works and adjacent district would smell of rotten eggs when the gas-works was producing gas; The gas, upon burning, would form sulfur dioxide, which would be quickly oxidized to sulfur trioxide, and subsequently would react with the water vapor produced by combustion to form sulfuric acid ...
Ethanethiol (EM), commonly known as ethyl mercaptan is used in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and resembles odor of leeks, onions, durian, or cooked cabbage; Methanethiol, commonly known as methyl mercaptan, is added to natural gas as an odorant, usually in mixtures containing methane. Its smell is reminiscent of rotten eggs or cabbage.
The enthalpy of combustion of propane gas where products do not return to standard state, for example where the hot gases including water vapor exit a chimney, (known as lower heating value) is −2043.455 kJ/mol. [29] The lower heat value is the amount of heat available from burning the substance where the combustion products are vented to the ...
