what percentage of a pop bottle is made of petroleum? (petrochemicals)?
606172
For the plastic bottles: \n98-99% PET or PETE, polyethylene teraphthalate. The remainder consists of additives, mostly antioxidants and anti-clouding agents, used during PETE production.\n\nFor the glass bottles:\n0% in the glass, but 85-90% of the paint is petro-based.  And most glass manufacturers get 100% of the energy used to melt and form the glass from petroleum.

Crude oil is sold in 42 gallon barrels. depending on where it comes from will determine what portion of this is made into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and a portion that is left over as pet-coke.  The average is 19.5 gals of gasoline per barrel of oil.

gasoline is a by-product of partial distillation of crude oil.

Organic matter does not have to be heated to form petroleum.  Petroleum forms from compression AND heat.

We find petroleum products in every area of our lives. They are easily recognized in the gasoline we use to fuel our cars and the heating oil we use to warm our homes. Less obvious are the uses of petroleum-based components of plastics, medicines, food items, and a host of other products.\n\nPetroleum products fall into three major categories: fuels such as motor gasoline and distillate fuel oil (diesel fuel); finished nonfuel products such as solvents and lubricating oils; and feedstocks for the petrochemical industry such as naphtha and various refinery gases. Demand is greatest for products in the fuels category, especially motor gasoline.

pure butane is neutral for sure. And butane, no matter isobutane(2-methylpropane) or just butane, is an alkane. \n\npH = -log[concentration of hydronium ions] (hydronium is H3O+), but Alkane does not dissolve in water since no ionic bond exists in the compound, so measuring its pH does not make much sense.\n\nCarbon and hydrogen have very similar electronegativity, so it's very difficult to remove hydrogen from the saturate carbon chain. alkane has pka value around 50, pKa value for water is around 16.

Mineral oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a chemically inert, transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities. Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades, and can often be found in drug stores

Most fuel (other than hydrogen, nuclear etc) is hydrocarbon.\n\nPlastics, solvents, most paint, most (all?) man made clothes, the insution on the wire...\n\nA bit of "building block" for modern material as well as fuels, solvents and some medicines too!!!!

They're gases (although butane forms a liquid under a little pressure) and the rest are liquids, at room temperature. Pentane is highly volatile, though.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFirst, gasoline is not a simple chemical compound like water or ethanol. It is a mixture of hundreds of different compounds. The reason for this is that gasoline is made from crude oil. Crude oil, or petroleum, is made up of thousands of different compounds, and the exact compounds present and their relative amounts differ depending on where the petroleum is produced. (For example, oil produced in West Texas differs remarkably from oil produced in the Middle East.) After the oil is produced (or taken out of the ground via oil wells), it is shipped to an oil refinery, where it is separated into different products, including gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel, among others. \n\n\nThe separation of the oil takes place in a process called distillation. (Note that there are other processes which occur in a refinery as well, but the simplification to consider just distillation is not too far off.) In distillation, the oil is heated until it starts to boil. Some of the thousands of chemical compounds that make up the oil start to boil at low temperatures, and some do not boil until the petroleum has been heated up to higher temperatures. The different products (such as gasoline) that come out of a refinery are defined by their boiling temperatures during distillation. The lightest compounds (those that boil at the lowest temperature) become aviation gasoline, the next lightest become automotive gasoline, the next lightest become lightweight solvents and so on. In order of increasing boiling point, some other categories of refinery products are jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, lubricants, greases, and asphalt. Gasoline is typically made from the fraction of the crude oil that boils at temperatures between about 50 degrees Celsius and 200 degrees Celsius. \n\n\nSo, we can't say for sure exactly what compounds are present in gasoline, but we can define gasoline to some extent. First, it is made up almost entirely of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of carbon and hydrogen. (Some of the compounds present in gasoline also contain small amounts of other elements, including sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and some trace metals.) Next, those hydrocarbons which make up most of gasoline boil at temperatures between about 50 and 200 degrees Celsius (120 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that these compounds are mostly those hydrocarbons that have between 6 and 12 carbon atoms in each molecule. A good average is probably octane, which has eight carbon atoms and 18 hydrogen atoms and is written C8H18. \n\n\nsource:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/apr2001/987004809.Ch.r.html

Octane is an alkane with the chemical formula C8H18. It has 18 isomers.

Matt gave the correct answer for propane VAPOR. Oil field trash is correct. Propane in liquid form does not ignite, only the vapor or "fumes" as some would call it.

please add more details? do you mean bottle as in a physical bottle made from glass or plastic or bottle as in guts/strenght/determination/stamina/power etc etc? please explain more? \nPhysical bottles come from any store and just pour the contents away.\nMental bottle comes from within and knowing the differences between right and wrong, sometimes even the weakest can find strength and courage when it is nescessary.
