Properties of Natural Gas
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that has methane gas as primary component. It is derived from organic material was deposited or buried under the earth, for millions of years. It contains heavier gaseous hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane and butane, and sulfur-containing gases. Natural gas has certain properties that allow their use for industrial or domestic. For example, it contains toxic ingredients that when inhaled is absorbed into the blood. Natural gas is tasteless, colorless, and when mixed with the appropriate volume of air and ignited, burns with a clean blue flame. It is considered one of the cleanest burning fuels, producing primarily heat, carbon dioxide and water vapor. Natural gas is odorless and before it is distributed to end users, is adding odorized thiols, which also helps in detecting any leak. Natural gas is lighter than air and tends to disperse in the atmosphere. In a state confined within a house, gas concentrations can reach explosive mixtu...
