The correct answer is liquid.

Cooking Gas:

  • Cooking gas is also called LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas).
  • Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a colourless odourless liquid which readily evaporates into a gas. 
  • LPG (cooking gas) is a mixture of  Butane and propane.
  • LPG (cooking gas) is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases that include propane, butane, isobutene, and mixtures of the three LPG gases.
  • On liquefaction, petroleum gas changes into a liquid which is called liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
  • The main constituent of LPG is butane though it contains smaller amounts of ethane and propane also.
  • LPG (cooking gas) is stored in steel vessels ranging from small BBQ gas bottles to larger gas cylinders and tanks.
  • When a valve provided in the cylinder is opened with the help of a regulator; due to a decrease in pressureLPG changes into a vapour.
  • This vapour flows to the burners through a rubber tubing attached to the regulator.
  • They are commonly used for generating heat for the home.
  • For example- heating, hot water, cooking including boilers, etc.

Advantages of LPG:

  1. It is a high calorific value fuel (50 kJ/g).
  2. It bums without smoke and is pollutionless.
  3. It is a neat and clean fuel.
  4. It is convenient to store.
