Gas. It is put into bottles for use as camping gas, pressurised so that it becomes a liquid, but at normal pressures it is a gas, because the molecules are not very big so don't attract each other very much. Longer chain hydrocarbon molecules are liquids, eg petrol, octane C8H18.

Is butane found as a solid liquid or gas?
Butane is found as a gas at room temperature and pressure, but can be stored in a liquid form under pressure. It is not found naturally as a solid.
Is butane a solid liquid or gas at room temperature?
Long answer short, it's pressurized, so the gas that would take up thousands of cubic litres only takes up the space of a cylinder, so it cools when pressurized and forms liquid. Short answer written long, see link below.
Is LPG a solid liquid or a gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas is a gas at room temperature but is compressed into a liquid for transportation.
Why is butane gas a liquid in lighter but a gas in water?
Butane gas is a liquid in lighters because it is under high pressure, which allows it to remain in a liquid state at room temperature. However, when released into water, the pressure decreases and the butane evaporates into a gas due to its low boiling point.
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 C4H10 liquid or solid?
it is a solid at some points and a liquid at others.

Why does the liquid in a butane lighter become gas after being released?
When the liquid butane in a lighter is released, it is exposed to lower pressure and higher temperature in the surrounding environment. This causes the liquid to evaporate and turn into a gas. The gas form of butane is what is ignited to create a flame when using a lighter.
How do you turn butane gas into liquid?
Butane gas can be turned into liquid by increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature. This can be done in a closed container where the butane gas is compressed and cooled until it reaches its liquid state.
What is the process of converting a gas to a liquid is called?
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
What is the state of butane at -150 degrees?
At -150 degrees Celsius, butane would be in a solid state. Butane has a melting point of approximately -138 degrees Celsius, so at -150 degrees, it is well below this temperature, causing it to crystallize. In this solid form, butane would not be usable as a fuel or in typical applications where it is usually found as a gas or liquid at higher temperatures.
