* Propane (C3H8): This makes up about 50-90% of the LPG mixture.
* Butane (C4H10): This makes up the remaining 10-50% of the LPG mixture.
Other components:
* Ethane (C2H6): A small amount of ethane may also be present.
* Pentane (C5H12): A small amount of pentane may also be present.
* Mercaptan (C2H6S): A strong-smelling odorant is added to LPG for safety purposes, as it allows leaks to be detected easily.
The exact composition of LPG can vary depending on the source of the gas and the intended use. For example, LPG used for heating purposes may have a higher butane content than LPG used as a fuel for vehicles.
Note: It's important to note that LPG is a flammable and potentially explosive substance. It should be handled with care and stored in a well-ventilated area.
