Kerosene

Description:
Kerosene, also known as paraffin oil, is a flammable hydrocarbon liquid derived from the distillation of crude oil. It primarily consists of aliphatic hydrocarbons, with a carbon chain length typically ranging from C10 to C16. Kerosene is characterized by its pale yellow to colorless appearance and has a distinctive odor. It has a relatively low viscosity and a moderate boiling point, which allows it to vaporize easily. Kerosene is commonly used as a fuel for jet engines, heating, and lamps, as well as a solvent in various industrial applications. Its flash point is generally between 38 to 72 degrees Celsius, making it a combustible substance that requires careful handling. Kerosene is also known for its relatively high energy content, which contributes to its effectiveness as a fuel. Additionally, it has a low solubility in water, which can lead to environmental concerns in the event of spills. Overall, kerosene is a versatile chemical with significant applications in energy and industry.
