Yes, the molecular mass of propane is 44 while that of butane is 58, higher is the molecular mass of an alkane higher would be the boiling point therefore less would be the volatility.
The highly inflammable gas in LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is propane.
Yes, propane is lighter than air. It has a density of approximately 1.88 kg/m³ (0.1179 lb/ft³) which is lighter than the density of air, which is about 1.225 kg/m³ (0.0765 lb/ft³). This is why propane tends to rise and disperse in the atmosphere.
The molecule of Methane is CH4; 1 carbon and 4 hydrogen atoms Butane's molecule C4H10 has 4 Carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen. So Butane has more parts to burn (connect to oxygen/oxidise) per molecule, hence a higher calorific value.
The longer the hydrocarbon the greater the potential energy. You would have too hot a flame if your lighter contained hexane ( a six carbon chain ) instead of butane.Answer:Older lighters used to use lighter fluid (closer to hexane) to provide the flame. A spark would ignite the cloud of hydrocarbon gas at the end of the wick. The fuel was not under pressure as in a butane lighter. It is not suffieciently volatile to turn into a gas a ambient temperaures to provide a gas stream as fuel as is done in modern lighters.As far as the modern lighters, the butane requires less pressure to keep it in its more compact liquid form than propane would. This reduces the needed strength of the containment system increasing the safety while decresing the cost.. At the same time the butane is still sufficiently volatile to evaporate at ambient temperatures and provide fuel for the flame.
Yes, chloroform is less volatile than water because it has a higher boiling point, meaning it evaporates more slowly at room temperature.
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.

The main differences between a butane torch and a propane torch are the fuel they use and the temperature they can reach. Butane torches use butane gas, which burns at a lower temperature than propane. Propane torches use propane gas, which burns at a higher temperature. This means that propane torches are generally hotter and more suitable for tasks that require higher heat levels, such as metalworking or plumbing. Butane torches are often more portable and easier to use for smaller tasks like cooking or crafting.
definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.
because of difference in structure propane (C3H8) has bigger molar mass then butane (C4H10) the molecules of butane are heavier and the forces between them are stronger as in propane, because of this more energy is needed to transfer liquid butane to gas
The main differences between a propane torch and a butane torch are the fuel they use and the temperature they can reach. Propane torches burn hotter than butane torches, making them more suitable for tasks that require higher temperatures, such as soldering or brazing metal. Butane torches are more portable and easier to use for tasks like cooking or small repairs. Choose a propane torch if you need higher temperatures and a butane torch for more portable and versatile use.

Butane, here is a simple way to remember Monkeys Eat Peanut Butter. Methane is the smallest, Ethane, then Propane and Butane is highest out of those four then it continues on.
