Is propane lighter than air

Answer 1

No, air has a density of 1.225 g/l @ 15°C. and Standard Atmospheric Pressure while butane is 2.52 g/l. Butane is more than twice as heavy as air!

Answer 2

Yes, propane is lighter than air. It has a density of approximately 1.88 kg/m³ (0.1179 lb/ft³) which is lighter than the density of air, which is about 1.225 kg/m³ (0.0765 lb/ft³). This is why propane tends to rise and disperse in the atmosphere.

Answer 3

Butane is highly flammable and is usually used as lighter fluid.

Answer 4

No. In general, liquids are denser than gases.

Answer 5

No. air is lighter

Density of air is 1.225 g/cm3, density of propane is 2.01 g/cm3.

Answer 6

Smoke density is less that of the surrounding air, and thus it rises. The same goes for a hot air baloon the density of the air trapped inside a ballon will rise.

Answer 7

Density of air is 1.225 g/cm3

Density of propane is 2.01 g/cm3

So air is lighter than propane.

Answer 8

Density of air is 1.225 g/cm3

Density of butane is 2.48 g/cm3

So air is lighter than butane.

Answer 9

Yes it is. The density of butane is 2.48 g/cm3, while that of O2 is 1.48 g/cm3

Answer 10

Heavier
