Thanks for the help. Here is the context...
Gas natural : El análisis se efectúa por cromatografía de gases. Con el análisis se presenta la incertidumbre asociada a la concentración de cada componente. También se calcula el ***poder calorífico***, la densidad, el factor de compresibilidad, el índice de Wobbe, el peso molecular y el número de metano del gas.
