Liquefied gas
Liquefied gas (sometimes referred to as liquid gas) is a gas that has been turned into a liquid by cooling or compressing it. Examples of liquefied gases include liquid air, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas . Liquid air.
Ammonia
Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH₃. A stable binary hydride and the simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a distinct pungent smell. Biologically, it is a common nitrogenous waste, and it contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a […]

It is classified as a hydrocarbon and is composed of two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, represented by the chemical formula C2H4. Ethylene is a colorless, flammable gas with a sweet odor, and it is considered one of the most […]
Hydrogen gas
Compressed hydrogen is the gaseous state of the element hydrogen kept under pressure. Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar and 700 bar is used for mobile hydrogen storage in hydrogen vehicles. It is used as a fuel gas.
Ammonium nitrate
Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula NH₄NO₃. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, although it does not form hydrates. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Its other major use is […]
toluene
Toluene, also known as toluol, is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH₃, often abbreviated as PhCH₃, where Ph stands for phenyl group. It is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with the odor associated with paint thinners. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of a methyl group attached to a phenyl group by […]
Methanol
Methanol is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula CH₃OH. It is a light, volatile, colorless and flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odour similar to that of ethanol. Methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood. Today, methanol […]
Diammonium phosphate
Diammonium phosphate ( DAP; IUPAC name diammonium hydrogen phosphate; chemical formula (NH 4) 2 (HPO 4) is one of a series of water – soluble ammonium phosphate salts that can be produced when ammonia reacts with phosphoric acid.
para-xylene
p-xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the three isomers of dimethylbenzene known collectively as xylenes. The p- stands for para-, implying that the two methyl groups in p-Xylene occupy the diametrically opposite substituent positions 1 and 4, as illustrated here in the schematic representation. It is in the positions of the two […]
