Question

State whether the statement is true or false. Rewrite the false statement correctly.

$$LPG$$ does not contain methane since it cannot be easily compressed.

Answer 1

Correct option is A. True
Methane gas can most certainly be filled into cylinders because it can be compressed easily. It is called $$CNG$$ - Compressed Natural Gas.

However, $$LPG$$ stands for liquefied petroleum gas. It consists of propane $$(C_3H_8)$$ and/or butane $$(C_4H_10)$$ as the major constituent(s). LPG (propane) is denser than air as compared to $$CNG$$ (methane), which is lighter than air.

So, it is true that $$LPG$$ does not contain methane since it cannot be easily compressed.

Hence, the given statement is true.
