Detailed Solution

concept - Petrochemicals are compounds that are obtained by processing petroleum and natural gas. LPG is one of the petrochemicals.
LPG is produced by refining crude oil or raw natural gas, whereas a liquid under pressure, when released from pressure at ambient temperature, is a gas. It is stored and transported in LPG cylinders as a liquid stored under pressure.
LPG is a highly flammable mixture of these hydrocarbon gases that are widely used as domestic cooking fuel. It is also used as fuel in some automobiles.
Thus, LPG is liquified petroleum gas and it contains propane, butane, propene and butene. These all components are gases at room temperature.
