USE
A gaseous
alkane obtained either from the gaseous
fraction of crude oil or by the cracking of
heavier fractions. The principal use of
propane is as a fuel for heating and cooking, since it can be liquefied under pressure,
stored in cylinders, and transported easily.
Propane is the third member of the homologous series of alkanes.
