Butane is a longer hydrocarbon (4 carbons in a chain, as compared to ethanes 2), so it has more energy stored up in the bonds. This means that it will release more energy when it is broken apart and new molecules are formed from it.

Which of these alkanes methane ethane propane and butane expect to have the highest boiling point?
Butane because it contains more atoms and is heavier.
What is th differencebetween a natral gas and lpg gas?
Natural gas is a mixture of different falmeable gasses most notable is ethane, propane, butane and pentane. LPG is a refined product of mainly propane and butane. It has different properties than natural gas and has more energy.
What are some hydrogen products?
Hydrocarbons (It is an element made up of only hydrogenand carbon) There are different types of hydrocabons: methane, ethane,propane,butane. If you want to know more go research on google.
How are potential energy and stability related?
the higher the potential energy, the more is the stability....
Is a gallon of gas potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Which has more atom's ethane or methane?
definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.

What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
Which mass has more potential energy?
A more massive objects have a greater gravitational potential energy.
How can potential energy be increased and decreased?
Potential energy is pretty much the potential for kinetic energy. The less kinetic energy there is, the more potential... On the other hand, if you need gravitational potential energy, then the higher the object is placed above the ground, the more GPE it has.
A skier who has more blank energy than a skier at the bottom?
A skier at the top has more potential energy
A molecule made of carbon and hydrogen?
Butane C4H10, Methane CH3, Ethane C2H6, Propane C3H8, All these are known as hydrocarbons. More complex hydrocarbons include petroleum, oil, plastics, and diesel.
What are some hydrogen products?

What is a energy of a object has because of its location or its condition?
"potential" energy.
How might the potential energy of water in a dam be increased?
By filling the dam with more water, because by doing that it gains more gravitational potential energy which is the same as potential energy.
How does height effect the potential energy of an object?
the higher an object is the more potential energy it has
