Have you made the slightest effort to look this up? I think you may have misunderstood the point of PF. We are not one of those Q&A sites where you just ask a question and get an answer. Here you are expect to make some effort on your own, and I found this question to be trivially easy to get an answer to.John Dalton said:Although LPG is a odourless gas , why can we smell it when it leaks?
If possible,give the name of the smelling compound that is mixed with LPG?
No, I will no apologize. I stated a fact. If you don't like the fact, or if you don't like my post, there is a "report" button which you can use to complain to a moderator about my behavior. Did you read the link I provided? It explains why I posted what I did.John Dalton said:Yes,I got the terms and conditions.
Actually this is my first day,so hopefully you will apologize.
It's not a problem, I just wanted to make sure you understand what forum you have joined. This is a FANTASTICALLY good forum, it's just not one of those Q&A forums. People here don't give answers so much as try to help people figure out how to get answers on their own. In fact if you read the forum rules (and you should since this is one of the forums where they actually matter) you will see that for things like math problems, giving an answer is against the rules.John Dalton said:I read that link.I am very a shameful for what I did.
Please beg me pardon.
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is often odorless in its natural form. To make it detectable in the event of a leak, an odorant is added to give it a distinct smell.
The most commonly used compound for odorizing LPG is ethyl mercaptan, which has a strong, unpleasant smell similar to rotten eggs.
Since LPG is odorized, we can detect leaks by the distinct smell of the odorant. This is a safety measure to alert us of potential leaks.
If you smell a LPG leak, leave the area immediately and call your local gas company or emergency services. Do not try to locate the source of the leak or use any open flames or electrical devices.
The odorant used in LPG is not harmful in small amounts, but it can cause irritation if exposed to large quantities. It is important to address any LPG leaks promptly to avoid prolonged exposure to the odorant.
