When butane reacts with oxygen the temperature of the surronding area does what?
The temperature, of course increase.
Is butane a liquid fossil fuel?
Butane is a hydrocarbon compound found in natural gas and crude oil. Both natural gas and crude oil are fossil fuels. At sufficient pressure and low temperature, it can be a liquid. So in answer to your question, butane is compound that comes from a fossil fuel, and can be both a liquid and a gas depending on the pressure and temperature. Natural gas is mostly methane and ethane, with small amounts of butane and propane, so it is usually stored as a gas phase. Crude oil has many hydrocarbon compounds heavier than butane, so it remains a liquid. See related link.

What is the advantages of butane?
· The advantage of butane is that it is cheap, less toxic and can be legally used and stored inside a building or a house. Butane is a more efficient fuel than propane on a per-volume basis by around 12%. This means that a similar quantity of butane and propane yields extra energy for the butane. · Butane fuel has several disadvantages. This includes its flame being is quite difficult to see, it being a poor cold weather fuel and unproductive in colder climates. The fuel's canisters are made of metal, which are usually heavy.
Can propane be used in place of butane?
Propane Uses: BBQ Fuel Part of LPG car fuel Used in production of petrochemicals Used in some flamethrowers Hot Air Balloon Fuel Can be used to power airsoft/paintball guns Liquid propane is used for movie stunts to cause explosions Butane Uses: Cooking/Camping fuel Part of LPG car fuel Used in production of petrochemicals Cigarette lighter fuel Propellent for aerosols

When butane evaporates whats left?
Butane is a gas at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. In the fuel tanks of cigarette lighters, butane welding torches, and most other butane powered heating devices, butane has been compressed to the point that it remains liquid at room temperature. When the trigger of these devices is depressed, a valve opens, allowing butane to escape from the tank, and in doing so, it's pressure drops to atmospheric pressure, and the liquid butane escaping the tank rapidly boils and becomes a gas, which is ignited by an ignition source. Strictly speaking, if the tank contained pure butane, when all the butane has evaporated, all that would be left in the tank is butane gas at atmospheric pressure. If you sprayed liquid butane on your table, and it were completely pure, the liquid would evaporate, leaving nothing behind. In reality, butane fuel is not completely pure, and may contain small amounts of all sorts of contaminants, some of which can be left behind after the butane evaporates. Some of these contaminants like methane, ethane, and propane likely would evaporate away with the butane, but other contaminants, like trace amounts of other petroleum distillates will likely remain after the butane evaporates.
What is butane used for in everyday life?
Propane and butane are two very similar gases, both used widely for fuel, especially for heating fuel.Butane, while not as commonly used as propane, is nonetheless a very popular heating fuel.Butane is also used in things like camp stoves, and is also seen in many cigarette lighters, and as a propellant in some aerosols.It is represented in the NFPA-704 system in the same way as propane, and like propane is also classified as highly flammable (F+).Butane is, generally speaking, a cheaper fuel than propane; although since it is less common it is not always possible to easily find devices fitted to work with butane. On a per-volume basis, butane is a more efficient fuel than propane, by around 12%. This means that a similar amount of butane and propane will yield more energy for the butane.
