Not sure about chemical? But there are highly sensitivity alarm metres for detecting the leakage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG, butane, propane etc), and natural gas. One method I once used to find a leaking joint on a gas cooker was to apply washing-up liquid round the joints until a joint bubbling up pin-pointed the leak.
You can detect a leakage in LPG by using a gas leak detector, checking for a hissing sound near the gas line or appliances, or using a soap solution to check for bubbles at pipe connections. It is important to take immediate action if a leak is detected to ensure safety.
You are going to think I'm crazy, but I asked the same thing of the Gas Company. Natural gas has no smell. and therefore can be dangerous for obvious reasons. The smell you refer to is C-H4, and is called "STINKUM". It is that horrid, dead rat type smell that lets you know that your gas is leaking.
LPG gas tends to have a distinct sulfur-like smell due to the addition of a chemical called ethyl mercaptan. This scent is deliberately added to help detect gas leaks or emissions.
A chemical called ethanethiol, also known as ethyl mercaptan, is added to LPG to give it a distinct odor for safety reasons. This odorant helps detect gas leaks as LPG itself is colorless and odorless.

The property of gas that helps us detect the leakage of LPG gas is its odor. LPG gas is odorless, but a foul-smelling odorant is added to it so that any leakage can be detected by smell. This distinctive smell alerts individuals to the presence of the gas and helps prevent accidents.
The property of gases that helps in detecting leakage of LPG gas is their odor. LPG gas is usually odorless, but a strong-smelling odorant is added to help detect leaks. This distinctive smell alerts individuals to the presence of gas in the event of a leak.
Yes, Liquified Petroleum Gas is a Gas. It is a mixture of butane and propane. Also ethyl mercaptan is added to LPG to detect the gas leakage.
Ethyl Mercaptane is C2H5SH. It is a sulphur containing organic compound. It is added into LPG so as to detect any leakage of LPG. The Pungent smell that comes from LPG is tht of ethyl mercaptane,otherwise LPG is an odourless gas.
Natural gas is odourless. Gas for domestic use - has chemicals added to create a smell, so leaks can be detected.

We use the IC1 555 in LPG gas detector to detect the leaking gases.
Helium is generally used; special spectrometers to detect helium leakage are designed.

LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) does not have its own odor. A powerful odorant, ethanethiol, is added to LPG so that leaks can be detected easily.
LPG is a mixed gas that are primarily contains propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10)
