The boiling point of butane is roughly -1.1oC.
The phase change that occurs when air freshener is sprayed is from liquid to gas. The air freshener is in liquid form inside the container, but when it is sprayed, it is released into the air as a gas or aerosol.
Yes. Butane is dangerous. Inhalation can lead to death by asphyxiation. Contact with the skin can lead to frostbite. If the liquid comes in contact with the air, it will explode.
An air thermometer has a bubble of liquid inside the tube and when the air inside of the tube heats up or cools down, the air takes up either more or less space inside of the tube, causing the bubble of liquid to either move upwards or downwards, indicating the temperature.
Methane and butane are both hydrocarbons, but they differ in their chemical structures and properties. Methane is a simple molecule with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, while butane has four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. In terms of chemical properties, methane is a gas at room temperature and pressure, while butane is a liquid. Methane is less dense than air and burns cleanly, making it a common fuel for heating and cooking. Butane is often used as a fuel in lighters and camping stoves due to its higher energy density. Overall, methane is simpler and more abundant, while butane is more complex and has higher energy content.

Canned air gets cold when sprayed because the liquid inside the can evaporates quickly, absorbing heat from the surrounding air and causing a drop in temperature.

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.

It isn't a gas only smaller particles of the same liquid floating on air when they come out of a can.
Aerosol cans get cold when sprayed because the liquid inside the can evaporates quickly, which absorbs heat from the surrounding air, causing the can to cool down.
A perfume bottle changes its state from liquid to gas when the liquid perfume inside is sprayed out and comes into contact with the air. The liquid perfume evaporates quickly due to its volatile components, leaving behind a lingering scent in the air.
A fall in air temperature can reduce the pressure inside the butane canister, leading to a drop in fuel flow rate and flame intensity on the camping stove. This may cause the flame to be smaller, flicker, or even extinguish if the temperature drop is significant. It's important to regulate the stove to maintain a consistent flame in colder temperatures.
Liquid thermometers use the expansion and contraction of a liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, in response to temperature changes to measure temperature. As the temperature increases, the liquid expands and rises up the tube. Air thermometers work by measuring the expansion or contraction of a gas, usually air, in response to temperature changes. The gas inside the thermometer expands when heated, causing the liquid in the tube to rise, and contracts when cooled, causing the liquid to fall.
Water vapor in air condenses into liquid water at the dew point temperature.
The boiling point of a liquid can change with air pressure. As air pressure decreases, the boiling point of a liquid also decreases, meaning it will boil at a lower temperature. Conversely, as air pressure increases, the boiling point of the liquid increases, requiring a higher temperature to boil.
