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
The flame produced by burning butane is typically blue in color.
No, silicone does not react with butane. Silicone is chemically inert, meaning it does not easily react or interact with other chemicals, including butane. This property makes silicone a popular choice for containing substances like butane.
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.
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.
Burning butane with a good supply of air will produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat. The chemical reaction occurs as the butane (C4H10) combines with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) through combustion.

65% propane and 35% butane

Yes, butane burning is a chemical change. The molecule of butane is converted to CO2 and H2O when combusted in oxygen.
THC is the only one. If using a lighter, you might inhale butane.

Yes, butane is classified as a petrochemical. It is derived from natural gas and crude oil during the refining process. As a hydrocarbon, butane is commonly used as a fuel and as a feedstock in the production of various chemicals and plastics. Its classification as a petrochemical highlights its importance in the chemical industry.

The chemical reaction formula for burning butane (C₄H₁₀) is: [ 2 , \text{C}4\text{H}{10} + 13 , \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 8 , \text{CO}_2 + 10 , \text{H}_2\text{O} ] This equation shows that two molecules of butane react with thirteen molecules of oxygen to produce eight molecules of carbon dioxide and ten molecules of water. This process is an example of complete combustion, where butane burns in the presence of sufficient oxygen.
