Best Answer

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.

Is there any structural formula of n ethane and iso ethane like n butane and iso butane?

Ethane has no structural isomers and hence there is no n-ethane and iso-ethane.


What gas represents the chemical formula C4H10?

C4H10 is the molecular formula for Butane. Butane has two possible *structural formulas* which describe the way in which the molecule is constructed. n-Butane has the condensed structural formula of CH3CH2CH2CH3. In this isomer of Butane each Carbon is bonded to another forming a chain with Hydrogens bonded to each of the carbons, 3 to the Carbon on each end, and 2 to each Carbon in the center. Isobutane has the condensed structural formula of CH(CH3)3. In this isomer, 3 Carbons are bonded to a single Carbon atom in the center of the molecule. The outer Carbons have 3 Hydrogens bonded to them, and the center Carbon has 1 Hydrogen bonded to it.


If you can make two structural isomers for the saturated alkane C4H10 does that mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns?

Yes, if you can make two structural isomers for the saturate alkane C4H10 it does mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns.


What molecule is H10C04?

There's no such molecule; elements cannot combine that way. If you meant H10C4, then it's a structural isomer of butane. (Butane or 2-methylpropane.)


How many non cyclic isomers are there for Butane?

There are two structural isomers approved by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) 1.) n-butane (normal butane) is a straight chain 2.) iso-butane (or methyl-propane) is a chain of three with one carbon attached to the middle of the chain

What is the chemical symbol for butane?

Butane is a component of LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas. Butane is a hydrocarbon that is present natural gas and can be obtained when petroleum is refined. Butane is a gaseous alkane. The chemical symbol of Butane is C4H10. The main advantage of Butane is that it can be liquefied easily. This means that Butane can be used in both liquid and solid forms


Is butane a heterogeneous mixture?

Butane is homogeneous. Butane may mean n-butane, iso-butane or a mixture of the two isomers. If the sample were a mixture of the two isomers then it would be a homgeneous mixture.
