The name butane is applied by IUPAC to the unbranched form of B4H10.

However many chemists use the name butane to refer to both isomers of

B4H10 , n-butane the unbranched form and iso-butane the branched form.

Is butane a heterogeneous mixture?

Butane is homogeneous. Butane may mean n-butane, iso-butane or a mixture of the two isomers. If the sample were a mixture of the two isomers then it would be a homgeneous mixture.


How many isomer of C6H10?

There are multiple possible isomers of C6H10. One example is hexene, which has positional isomers based on the location of the double bond. Another example is cyclohexane, which has structural isomers such as methylcyclopentane. The total number of isomers would depend on the specific structures allowed.

HOW TO DRAW TWO ISOMERS OF BUTANE?

To draw two isomers of butane, start with the straight-chain butane molecule (C4H10) and then draw the branched isomer, known as 2-methylpropane (C4H10). The second isomer can be drawn by rearranging the carbon atoms to create a different branched isomer, such as 2,2-dimethylpropane (C4H10).


What is the shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism?

The shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism is butane (C4H10). Butane can exhibit two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, which differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.


What physical property is identical for the two isomers co C4H10?

The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K. It has to do with there structures. J
