Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -LPG stands for “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” and the term is used to describe two Natural Gas Liquids: propane and butane, or a mix of the two. Propane and butane are chemically quite similar but the small differences in their properties mean that they are particularly suited to specific uses.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is called liquefied gas because it is easily transformed into a liquid. LPG needs only low pressure or refrigeration to change it into liquid from its gaseous state. As a gas, LPG expands to 270 times its volume as a liquid.

Detailed explanation-3: -LPG is used as a fuel in a range of applications including in heating and cooking appliances, industrial applications, in vehicles and as a propellant and refrigerant.
