Solution
LPG: LPG, also known as Liquified Petroleum Gas, is a petroleum gas liquified under high pressure.
Explanation: LPG is odorless and highly combustible. The leakage of LPG is detected by a strong-smelling substance called ethyl mercaptan, which is added to the gas.
The steps necessary to be taken if LPG leakage is detected are,
- Any substance that can cause burning should be moved away from the leakage.
- Switch off the valve and the knob of the stove.
- Open the kitchen's windows and doors to let the gas escape and prevent any accident.
