Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Kerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydro carbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150-275° C resulting in a mixture with a density of 0.78-0.81 g / cm 3 composed of carbon chains that typically contain between 6 and 16 carbon atoms per molecule.
