Explanation:
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is naturally odorless. To detect dangerous leaks, a strong-smelling sulfur compound called ethyl mercaptan (thioethanol, C2H5SH) is added to it. Its pungent, rotting-cabbage-like smell is easily detectable by the human nose even at very low concentrations.
Explanation:
In Fe₂O₃, oxygen has valency 2. Two Fe atoms combined with three O atoms: total negative charge = 6. For two Fe, total positive = 6, so each Fe has +3. Valency = 3 (ferric). In FeO, valency is 2 (ferrous).
