propaanilla

Propaani, also known as propane, is a three-carbon alkane with the chemical formula C3H8. It is a colorless, odorless gas at standard temperature and pressure, although commercial propane often has an odorant added to detect leaks. Propane is a highly flammable hydrocarbon and is a common fuel source.

It is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. Propane can exist as a gas or a liquid under pressure. In its liquid state, it is often stored and transported in tanks. Its relatively low boiling point makes it easy to vaporize for combustion.

Propane is widely used for heating homes and water, cooking, and as a fuel for vehicles, particularly in some industrial and agricultural applications. It is also used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans. The clean-burning nature of propane, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to some other fossil fuels, has contributed to its popularity. Its storage and transport are regulated due to its flammability and potential hazards if mishandled.
