Butane and isobutane are isomers or compounds that?
Butane and isobutane are isomers or compounds that have the same chemical fomula but different structual formulas.
Does isobutane burn hotter than butane - Can you damage a backpacking stove made for burning butane by burning isobutane in it?
If I remember correctly i-butane is slightly higher pressure at room temperature than n -butane 45 psi vs 30 psi at room temperature. They buran at the same temperature for the same air/fuel ratio. The higher pressure would result is more fuel flow for the same orfice size. Your stove should have a control valve so it should not matter. Nost lighters and other things that say butane are actuall isobutane because it produces higher pressure and the lighter will function better at cold temperatrues. Your stove likely used isobutane any way. Propane is much higher pressure so don't simply substute propane for butane usless the device is made for propane as well.
Does isobutane have a branched chain?
YES. and it has the same content of carbon and hydrogen molecules to n-butane
Butane and isobutane are examples of?
both having same molecular formula bur differ in their position, so these are the Ex. of positional isomers
What are the two structural forms of butane?
Butane, (CH3CH2CH2CH3) and methyl propane, (CH3CH(CH3)CH3). The old, non-IUPAAC name for the latter is Isobutane. Both, of course have the same empirical formula of C4H10.

What is the chemical formula for isobutane?
They are both C4H10 but isobutane has another structure, called Isomer Butane: Isobutane: H H H H H H H H-C-C-C-C-H H-C-C-C-H H H H H HHCHH H Isobutane comes in Y shape not in series as n-butane. In refineries, they transform n-butane to iso-buatene. So, they can use it in alkaline units to produce gasoline
What is the age for purchasing a lighter?
There is no age limit to buying lighters. You can be 2 years old to buy one HOWEVER, it is the stores decision to sell it to you. You have to be 18 to buy butane products, and lighter fluid, BUT, lighters such as the average BIC don't use butane. There is a law stating you cant sell cigarette paraphernalia to minors, and lighters don't fall under that category. So, basically there is no age limit to buying lighters in the UK.
What is tetracarbon decahydride?
Its a hydrocarbon consisted of 4 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms.Actually, its the un-preferred (but accepted by IUPAC) name of butane - a type of alkane. The name ''tetracarbon decahydride'' also may correspond to isobutane - an isomer of butane (its molecule is constructed by the same quantity and type of atoms but these atoms are bonded differently).
How many chain isomers are there in butane?
Butane has 2 isomers:CH3CH2CH2CH3 - butaneCH3CH(CH3)CH3 - 2-methylpropane (or isobutane)
Does zippo lighter take the same lighter fluid as a bic lighter?
No. Bic lighters -- and most other throwaway lighters -- use butane gas, which liquefies under modest pressure. When struck, the pressure tank is opened and the butane vaporizes and travels through a small orifice, or jet, to the spark wheel. Zippos, of course, use a naphtha-based liquid lighter fluid and a woven textile wick, which conducts the fluid to the spark wheel.
What is the difference between a moose and mousse?
A moose is a large animal, and a mousse is a whipped dessert (typically chocolate). The pronunciation is exactly the same.
What is the difference between pentane and butane gas?
Butane has higher melting and boiling points.
