Detailed explanation-1: -Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG consists mainly of methane, propane, propylene, butane, and butylene in various mixtures. It is produced as a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. The components of LPG are gases at normal temperatures and pressures.
Detailed explanation-2: -LPG is liquefied petroleum gas which is either propane or butane with a heat content of 93.2MJ/m3. On the other hand, natural gas is primarily methane and has a heat content of 38.7MJ/M3. Both are crude oil products, but the energy content and density are different.
Detailed explanation-3: -The assertion is incorrect as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consists mainly of propane, propylene, butane, and butylene in various mixtures. These gases are present at normal temperature and pressure. It does not contain methane.
