'''Kerosene''' (or paraffin oil) is a mixture of volatile [[hydrocarbons]] have 10 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. It is used as a [[fuel]] in [[jet]] engines, for heating and lighting, and as a [[solvent]] and paint thinner.
Although kerosene can be derived from oil, coal, and tar, most kerosene is produced from [[petroleum]] by [[refining]] and cracking. It was the major fuel product until the ascendency of [[gasoline]].
Kerosene boils between 150 and 300 degrees [[celsius]].
