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.

What physical property is identical for the two isomers co C4H10?

The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K. It has to do with there structures. J
