These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Butane is possibly neutral. Butane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Butanes are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature. It was discovered by the chemist Edward Frankland in 1849. It was found dissolved in crude petroleum in 1864 by Edmund Ronalds, who was the first to describe its properties. There are two known structural isomers of Butane including n-Butane and iso-Butane. Normal butane can be used for gasoline blending, as a fuel gas, fragrance extraction solvent, either alone or in a mixture with propane, and as a feedstock for the manufacture of ethylene and butadiene, a key ingredient of synthetic rubber. Inhalation of butane can cause euphoria, drowsiness, unconsciousness, asphyxia, cardiac arrhythmia, fluctuations in blood pressure and temporary memory loss, when abused directly from a highly pressurized container, and can result in death from asphyxiation and ventricular fibrillation.E943aN-ButaneC4H1058.122258.07825032butanebutane106-97-8CCCCInChI=1S/C4H10/c1-3-4-2/h3-4H2,1-2H3IJDNQMDRQITEOD-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes.
