The molecular formula of Butane is C4H10. It's an organic compound that is a gas at room temperature, and is highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied.

Butane is a hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms in a row bonded to each other. Coming off of each carbon atom are enough hydrogen atoms so that each carbon makes a total of 4 bonds:

H H H H

H - C - C - C - C - H

H H H H

The structure of Butane can also be written as: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3.

Is C4H10 an empirical formula or a molecular formula for butane?

C4H10 is the molecular formula for butane, as it represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a single molecule of the compound. The empirical formula for butane would be CH5, as it shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in the compound.


What gas represents the chemical formula C4H10?

C4H10 is the molecular formula for Butane. Butane has two possible *structural formulas* which describe the way in which the molecule is constructed. n-Butane has the condensed structural formula of CH3CH2CH2CH3. In this isomer of Butane each Carbon is bonded to another forming a chain with Hydrogens bonded to each of the carbons, 3 to the Carbon on each end, and 2 to each Carbon in the center. Isobutane has the condensed structural formula of CH(CH3)3. In this isomer, 3 Carbons are bonded to a single Carbon atom in the center of the molecule. The outer Carbons have 3 Hydrogens bonded to them, and the center Carbon has 1 Hydrogen bonded to it.
