The highest temperature a butane lighter reaches is the "flash point", which is when the spark occurs to begin the flame.

The flash point can reach temperatures of up to 420oC which is about 788oF.

What happens when you mix ammonia and lighter fluid?

What most people call "ammonia" is actually a solution of what chemists call ammonia in water. If you mix household ammonia with lighter fluid, they won't mix. Lighter fluid is probably (mostly) butane, which is not exactly miscible with water. I'm not actually positive whether it's miscible with "real" ammonia or not in the liquid state, but I doubt it; ammonia is polar and butane is not.


Does butane contain benzene?

No, butane and benzene are two different compounds. Butane is a flammable gas commonly used as a fuel, while benzene is a colorless liquid that is a known carcinogen. They have different chemical structures and properties.


What is butane as a chemical formula?

The chemical formula for butanal is CH3CH2CH2CHO.


Which has longer chain of atoms butane or ethane?

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.


How hot does lighter fluid burn?

Butane burns at no less than 450 Celsius.But it might actually be higher.See related link.the hotter something is the more the molecules in it bounce around. This bouncing around makes it so that molecules are more spread out in hotter air then colder air so the hotter air is less dense and the less dense air rises above the colder more dense air.Answer:Assuming good mixing and proper flow conditions a butane/air flame (like a lighter) can reach temperature of 1,977o C

What Can you fill a butane lighter with?

you can fill a butane lighter with lot's of things but you only want to use butane or (only if you have an adjustable lighter) propane. some of my freinds tried Ethane and they could either get it to burn a lighter up or it wouldn't light so it's hard to balance if you use that. I PLAY WITH FIRE :)


What is used to refill a lighter?

Butane.


Butane gas in dunhill lighter?

Dunhill lighters typically use butane gas as fuel to produce a flame. You can refill the lighter with butane gas when it runs out to continue using it. Make sure to use high-quality butane gas to ensure proper functioning of the lighter.


Did you accidentally put lighter fluid in a butane lighter?

No, lighter fluid and butane are two different substances used in lighters. It is important to use the correct fuel for your specific lighter to avoid accidents.


What gas comes out of a butane lighter?

Butane gas is what comes out of a butane lighter when it is ignited. It is a highly flammable gas commonly used as fuel in lighters due to its ability to produce a hot flame.


Can I refill a Ronson Jetlite lighter with a Bernzomatic Butane Canister?

No, it is not recommended to refill a Ronson Jetlite lighter with a Bernzomatic Butane Canister. Ronson recommends using Ronson Butane or a similar quality butane for refilling their lighters to ensure optimal performance and safety. Using a different brand of butane may damage the lighter or cause it not to function properly.


How can you tell if your lighter uses butane or lighter fluid?

To determine if your lighter uses butane or lighter fluid, check the type of lighter. Butane lighters typically have a refillable canister and a nozzle for butane refills, while lighter fluid lighters (often referred to as "zippo lighters") have a cotton wick and a reservoir for liquid fuel. Additionally, if you see a clear or slightly colored gas escaping when you press the ignition, it’s likely butane; if it has a distinctive smell and is oily, it’s likely lighter fluid. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for clarification.


Which gas is used for cigerate lighter?

Butane


Is lighter fluid charged positive?

No. Lighter fluid is usually butane, a flammable substance known as a hydrocarbon with chemical formula C4H10. A spark ignites the butane, allowing the lighter to function.


What is the most abundant alkane in a butane lighter?

The most abundant alkane in a butane lighter is, as the name suggests, butane. Butane is a four-carbon alkane that is commonly used as fuel in lighters due to its flammable properties and clean burn characteristics.


What is best butane lighter fuel?

The best butane lighter fuel is often considered to be triple-refined butane, as it produces a clean and consistent burn with minimal impurities. Look for brands that clearly specify their butane as triple-refined for best results.
