Liquid petroleum gas means, is it in the gasious form or in liquid form at the atmospheric temperature and pressure? All gases are alkanes(mojor part of this is butane) and these are in gasious state only, bacause they are not higher alkanes.

It is not liquid petroleum gas but Liquified Petroleum Gas I guess. The Natural gas that has been liqified by applying pressure. When that pressure is released, it gets to be in gaseous state again. And that is how it is used.

Liquified Petroleum gas is likewise regularly occurring as LPG gas and that is in a compressed kind. If it replaced into basically liquid petroleum it may basically be liquid gas.....LPG gas is used to warmth houses specially...also some busses use LPG gas as an altrnative to accepted liquid gas by way of the indisputable fact that is a extra effecient kind of gasoline than accepted liquid gas.also...LPG gas is utilized on your popular gas grills and that is continually in a compressed kind......

Liquified Petroleum Gas is not natural gas. Most LPG is comprised mainly of propane and butane with propane predominating.
As such, it can be liquified by using pressure at ambient temperatures.
Natural Gas is mainly methane with small amounts of the LPG components. It cannot be liquified at ambient temperature but will liquify at something like -250 degrees C (I forget the exact temperature). This is done commercially in order to ship it in special LNG carriers after which it is revaporized for distribution in pipelines.

Confusing isn't it calling something liquid and gas at the same time? When it is in the cylinder it is pressurised and so it becomes a liquid. When the LPG is returned to atmospheric pressure it becomes a gas again.

Think: if cooking gas were not in gaseous form at atmospheric temperature and pressure, you'd have to heat it to be able to use it in stoves that require gaseous fuel. So yes, it's gaseous at normal temp. and press, and it liquefies at higher pressure and normal temperature.
