What is liquified petroleum gas (L.P.G.)?

Solution

This is generally a mixture of propane and butane (n-butane as well as isobutane) compressed under pressure as a liquid and stored in iron cylinders. It is the major source of household fuel because the combustion of both propane and butane is almost complete without any unburnt carbon released to the atmosphere.
