Best Answer

it depends. complete combustion of butane will produce carbon dioxide and water, but incomplete combustion (not enough oxygen) will produce carbon monoxide and carbon (soot). most commonly there will be a mixture of these four chemicals produced

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.


How many grams of carbon dioxide would be produced by the complete combustion of 600 g of butane?

The chemical reaction of burning is: 2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O From 600 g butane, after a complete combustion, 1817,34 g carbon dioxide are released.


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 chemical is present in LPG?

Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane (C3H8), primarily butane (C4H10) and, most commonly, mixes including both propane and butane, depending on the season - in winter more propane, in summer more butane. So that people can smell the gas (for safety) chemicals that smell are added - ethanethiol, thiophene and amyl mercaptan.
