Key Stage 3
Meaning
Butane is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula CH4.
About Butane
- Butane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Butane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water

- Butane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Butane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
- 2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
