Liquid propane expands about 270 times when it changes from liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. This expansion ratio allows for efficient storage and transportation of propane as a liquid, which can then be converted to a gas for use in applications such as heating and cooking.
5000 lbs of propane weighs 5000 lbs. Propane is a gas at room temperature and pressure, but is stored and transported as a liquid under pressure in its propane tanks.
AnswerOne Gallon of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) will expand to 35.79 cubic feet of propane gas at 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) are commonly stored as liquids in pressurized tanks for transportation and storage.

Liquid thermometers use the expansion and contraction of a liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, in response to temperature changes to measure temperature. As the temperature increases, the liquid expands and rises up the tube. Air thermometers work by measuring the expansion or contraction of a gas, usually air, in response to temperature changes. The gas inside the thermometer expands when heated, causing the liquid in the tube to rise, and contracts when cooled, causing the liquid to fall.
