LPG is a mixture of gases(propane 60%,butane 40%) obtained from crude oil(petroleum) kept under a great pressure to be present in the liquid state.
A little bit of ethylethiol is added to detect leakage.

LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly propane & butane, liquified under a little pressure (say 5 kg/cm2). Petroleum, the commonly used word for crude oil, when processed in refinery it is fractionated into various components. The gas fraction coming out is compressed at ambient temperature to receive LPG. LPG is also produced from natural gas after separation of methanol & liquification of gases (propane & butane) by mild pressure. Therefore, in LPG cylinder you will get only liquefied petroleum gases & not petroleum or crude oil.

Liquified Petroleum gas isn't organic gas. maximum LPG is comprised in particular of propane and butane with propane predominating. As such, it is liquified by skill of utilising rigidity at ambient temperatures. organic gas is principally methane with small quantities of the LPG aspects. It can't be liquified at ambient temperature yet will liquify at something like -250 ranges C (I forget approximately the authentic temperature). it is achieved commercially with the intention to deliver it in particular LNG businesses and then it is revaporized for distribution in pipelines.

The question does not make sense. The cylinder contains propane, under sufficient pressure that most of it is a liquid. As propane is drawn off for use, the liquid propane evaporates and the level of liquid decreases.

will depend on ambient air temperature and pressure in the cylinder

it is liquefied petroleum gas and not a mixture of gas and petrol...
