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.
Out of methane, ethane, propane, and butane, butane has the highest boiling point.
Butane would have the highest boiling point among ethane, propane, and butane.
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.
Butane would be expected to have the highest boiling point among methane, ethane, propane, and butane. This is because as the number of carbon atoms in the alkane chain increases, so does the strength of the intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces), leading to higher boiling points.
Butane gas is a specific type of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that consists mainly of butane, whereas LPG is a broader term that includes propane, butane, and other hydrocarbons. Butane gas typically has a higher boiling point and is used in portable stoves and lighters, while LPG is commonly used for heating and cooking in homes and businesses.

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
I think propane is higher??

C3H8 (propane) has a higher boiling point than C2H6 (ethane) because propane has a larger molecular size and stronger van der Waals forces between its molecules, which require more energy to break and transition to the gas phase.
Butane has a boiling point of 0.5 degrees centigrade
Being a variable mixture (of propane and 2 butanes) it has no boiling point but boiling temperature range.Even for components boiling points are insecure because of impurities, but all are far below room temperature .propane boils at −42.25 to −42.04 °Cn-butane −1 to 1 °Cisobutane at −13 to −9 °C
Butane has a lower boiling point than water. Butane boils at -1°C (30.2°F) while water boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure.
The highly inflammable gas in LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is propane.
