A gallon of kerosene typically contains about 135,000 BTUs of energy. At a burn rate of 30,000 BTUs per hour, a gallon of kerosene would last approximately 4.5 hours (135,000 BTUs ÷ 30,000 BTUs/hour = 4.5 hours). However, actual burn time can vary based on factors such as efficiency and burner design.
What else can I help you with?
A kerosene lamp has a mass of 1.5kg you put 0.5 kg of kerosene in the lamp you burn all of the kerosene until the lamp has a mass of 1.5 kg what is the mass of the gases given off Explain?
0.5kg of gas.. because the whole 0.5kg of kerosene is already burnt out.

What to put on a burn that happened 12 hours ago?
For a burn that occurred 12 hours ago, it’s important to keep the area clean and avoid applying ice or very cold substances, as these can cause further damage. Gently clean the burn with mild soap and water, then apply a non-stick, sterile dressing or a burn ointment containing aloe vera or antibiotic properties. If the burn is severe, has blisters, or shows signs of infection, seek medical attention. Always avoid using butter or oils, as they can trap heat and worsen the injury.
How many hours will a 70-kg person need to swim off 430 kcal?
To estimate how long a 70-kg person would need to swim off 430 kcal, we can use the average calorie burn rate for swimming, which is about 7 kcal per minute for moderate intensity. This means that the person would burn approximately 420 kcal in an hour. Therefore, they would need to swim for about 61 minutes to burn off 430 kcal.
What is the difference between jet A and kerosene?

Yes. It has a low flash point, and a low ignition point.
Why kerosene is better fuel compared to diesel?
Because the viscosity of the kerosene is much thicker therefore it'll burn slower.
What is the time autonomy of a kerosene lamp?
The time autonomy of a kerosene lamp is all dependant on the type and age of the lamp. Another big factor in the time autonomy is the size of the lamp as large lamps will either need more fuel or will not last as long.
