Natural, as a gas mixed into the air, it is in a Natural state.  Air is a mixture, mixtures do not contain chemical bonds.  Manufacture means to make, fabricate or produce.  Gas is already there in a certain proportion.  Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide and all the others. Extraction only takes processes that separate them whereas breaking compounds takes a lot of energy.

Think of it like riding a bicycle, you have to push down on the pedals to make the chain go round.  Gasoline explodes inside the engine pushing the pistons down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft turns the parts inside the transmission, the transmission turns the drive shaft and the drive shaft turns the wheels

it burns. Gasoline contains various compounds of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). When you add oxygen (O) and burn it, chemical reaction results in water H2O (water vapor) and CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Dynamite USED to be made from nitroglycerine absorbed by clay, but that was very dangerous:  Over time, the nitroglycerin would leak out and collect in the bottom of the box.  Then when you bumped the box, the whole thing would blow up!\n\nNow they make it from diesel oil, and Ammonium Nitrate with some filler like sawdust.  Much safer and still about the same strength.

A n energy related project:\n\n1.  Ethanol production, ferment and distill - very easy.  Ethanol is used in gasoline, made from fermented sugar or starch.  Combine sugar, water, and yeast, covered so no air gets in (a plastic bottle with a balloon over the neck).  Let ferment 3 -5 days, balloon will go up then down.  Then in a small pot, put in 3/4 inch of the liquid and a small glass in the middle.  Invert the pot cover and put ice and water in it.  Boil very slowly till about 1/4 of the liquid is gone.  Cool down and you'll have ethanol in the small glass.  Repeat distillation to increase concentration of ethanol.

Natural gas is too hard to Compress, so, it is collected straight from the ground and pumped to homes. When a Gas field is found they just use a pipe like they do oil to tap into the Gas pocket. Butane is a gas that can be compressed it liquefies under pressure, that why a Lighter looks like it has Liquid in it, you CAN NOT do this with natural gas. This a easy way to explain it.

This is what I found when I googled- freezing point of gasoline\n\nWell, gasoline should freeze if you get it cold enough! Gasoline does not consist of a single kind of molecule -- it contains several different hydrocarbons (molecules consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms). In principle, if you cool a mixture like this slowly enough, it will form a collection of different types of frozen crystals, with the freezing of each type of crystal occurring over a (different) range of temperatures. In practice, often such mixtures don't form crystals at all but just gradually thicken and harden as they get colder, forming something like glass- hard but without the regular crystal that make a true solid so different from a liquid. In a glass, on a small scale the molecules are still jumbled up like in a liquid.\n\nThe problem of fuel getting gummy and solidifying is more of a worry with aviation fuel. High-flying airplanes fly through very cold air (every time I fly and they show the outside temperature, it's -80 F!). And one of the last things you want to happen to an airplane is for the fuel pipe to freeze up. People add stuff to aviation fuel to keep this from happening. Piston-powered propeller planes sometimes have isopropyl alcohol or other compounds added to prevent freezing.

One current method, is called PEM, or proton exchange membrane fuel cells.  How it works:\n\nHydrogen (H2) molecules are split by way of an anode, into protons and electrons.  The membrane allows protons to pass through and blocks electrons.  This creates an electric potential,  as well as a direct current (DC) as collected electrons move around the membrane to the other side, to recombine with the H+ ions (protons) as well as O2 molecules, creating byproducts of water and heat.  This DC could ideally power anything from a light bulb to propelling an automobile if the electricity were converted to mechanical energy (like in the electric motor portion of a hybrid automobile).\n\nThe difficulty comes in getting the hydrogen.  While the byproduct of a hydrogen powered car is water and heat, which do not hurt the atmosphere, the creation of purified hydrogen, does require energy as well as gives off large amounts of CO2, a greenhouse gas.  Some work is being done into looking into renewable energy sources to power the purification process (wind power, solar power, nuclear power, etc) as well as methods of "burying" the produced CO2 underground, so that it is not released into the atmosphere.

It's liquid hydrogen and oxygen.  I imagine they just make it in a factory by cooling down those gases to very low temperatures.

It's an ozone depleter, and it is extremely volitile.  If you've ever heard of the Hindenberg explosion (36 people dies) that was because the Zeplin was filled with hydrogen gas.\n\nManufacture of hydrogen will result in CO2 emmission even though the use of hydrgoen does not.  That's because hydrogen gas is usually made from methane or other fossils fuels.  Theoretically, it can also be made from the electrolysis of water, but this requires a lot of electricity, and very little of the electricity available comes from sources other than fossil fuels.\n\nAsk any engineer or chemist, and they'll tell you: it's a scam.

The main products still are carbon dioxide and water, together with carbon monoxide and various substances collectively referred to as soot. Soot basically is the attempt to form graphitic carbon in the flame finished before a sufficient quantity has formed to create crystals. Substances in soot usually are polycyclical aromatic compounds, or heterocyclical compounds like furanes.\n\nIn the case of impure fuels, additional side products can be found. Presence of halogens leads to formation of dioxines and similar compounds. Presence of sulfur leads to all kind of noxious substances. Etc.\n\nIncomplete combustion doesn't provide well-defined reactions.

Matter can exist in either a liquid, solid, or gaseous state.  \nA) Iron nail is a solid\nB) Gasoline is a liquid unless you are speaking of the fumes that can be seen or smelled and then it is a gaseous state.

Yes, gasoline can freeze.  The liquid in it is partly water, so it would be like freezing alcohol, it won't freeze solid, but will turn really slushy.

Air is just a homogenous gas mixture, therefore you can make it if you dissolve all of the major components of air into a container. Or...you could run through millions of other experiments trying to release only certain elements in the container.

These answers are all correct yet incomplete.\n\nFor complete combustion of a hydrocarbon (the major components of gasoline are hydrocarbons), the products are water and carbon dioxide.\n\nHowever, combustion in the everyday use of gasoline is not necessarily complete, and the products due to incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon are water and carbon monoxide.\n\nAlso, in theory, the combustion occurs when oxygen and hydrocarbon are chemcally reacted with each other.  However, in practice, the oxygen supply comes from air, which is predominantly nitrogen, and the heat of combustion will contribute to the combustion of the nitrogen.  The products of combustion of nitrogen are NO2 and NO3, commonly known as NOx.\n\nThe main fact left out in the previous answers, are that gasoline is not solely composed of hydrocarbons.  In addition to the fuel additives, which are predominantly formed from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, there are also sulfur-containing organic compounds that are considered impurities (ie, could not be removed during the refining process).  The products of the combustion of these sulfur-containing compounds are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and SO2 and SO3, commonly called SOx.\n\nCombustion of gasoline will also have particulate matter as a byproduct. Is is similar to smoke you see when burning any fuel.  Incomplete or inefficient combustion can lead to small amounts of carbon not being oxidized, leaving carbon dust, or coke, as a product.  This dust can also be a carrier for other pollutants or by-products and depending upon particle size, can be very harmful to human respiratory health.\n\nFinally, since some of the fuel may not be completely combusted, volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, will be products as well.

It is mostly composed of alcohol.  An alcohol/gasoline mix has a lower freezing point than straight gasoline, and mixing in alcohol does not adversely affect the combustion characteristics of gas in most engines.
