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 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.


Why would a large burn area predisposes to decreased blood pressure because?

A large burn area predisposes to decreased blood pressure because the damaged skin leads to fluid loss and shifts of fluid from the blood vessels into the surrounding tissues. This loss of fluid reduces the volume of blood in circulation, leading to hypovolemia and subsequent decreased blood pressure. Additionally, the release of inflammatory mediators in response to the burn injury can also contribute to vasodilation and further drop in blood pressure.


How many watt is a butane lighter?

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 sets convection currents into motion?

If you are heating water in a pan on the stove, the water at the bottom of the pan will warm first. Since warm water is lighter, it will rise, and cool water from the top will flow down to replace it. This is called convection, and will continue until all the water is hot. Convection currents can occur in large bodies of water, in the atmosphere, or beneath the earth's crust. All that is needed is a warmer, lighter fluid below a cooler, heavier one.


What is the perfect temperature for hot cocoa Celsius?

The perfect temperature for hot cocoa is typically between 55-60 degrees Celsius. This temperature allows the cocoa to be hot enough to be comforting and soothing without being too hot to burn your mouth.

Cannot find my dad's lighter fluid to make handheld fireballs are there any substitutes?

I do not believe so. The reason why you can only use lighter fluid is because it does not burn very hot. There may be a substitute, but I do not know of any.


What is a substitute for lighter fluid for a BBQ?

I have used the gel from a can of Sterno. Just smear blobs intermittently on your pile of coals and light. It seems to burn cleaner and is not as "explosive" as lighter fluid.

What is the difference between zippo fluid and butane?

Butane lighters burn hotter but use up fuel fast compared to regular lighter fluid lighters which do not burn as hot but do not use up fuel as fast.**The answer is found in chemistry. Butane is a specific chemical, ie. C4H10; an alkane with four carbons and ten hydrogens. Lighter fluid is not so specific in its contents - it is generally defined as a highly combustible (thus high octane) hydrocarbon; Naptha.


Does frozen gas burn?

This is dangerous and will damage the lighter. Lighter fluid is made of naptha, the traditional dry cleaning fluid. It is highly flammable, but is not a gasoline product. The two are made by different processes. Fill your lighter with the reccommended product to prolong the life of the lighter.

How to refill a metal flip lighter with lighter fluid?

Slide the lighter body out of the lighter case, by pulling on the wick cage. With the lighter body upside down squirt lighter fluid into the fiber packing in the lighter until saturated. Reassemble the lighter body into the lighter case. Let excess lighter fluid evaporate before using the lighter.


Does zippo lighter fluid contain naptha?

Ronsonol lighter fluid (another fuel for zippos) is actually just pure naphtha. If you've ever heard of naphtha paint thinner it is actually the same exact thing..
