Mercaptans are added to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to _____________________ ?
Correct answer: C. Assist in checking its leakage from cylinder
- A. Reduce its cost
- B. Narrow down its explosion limit
- C. Assist in checking its leakage from cylinder
- D. Increase its calorific value
Explanation
LPG is naturally almost odorless, so a strong-smelling mercaptan is added to make leakage detectable before the gas reaches a dangerous concentration. It does not materially change the fuel's calorific value or explosion limits.
