Combustion of Butane

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Ikhtisar

Butane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Butane is the primary fuel in disposable cigarette lighters and portable camping stoves. It has a higher energy density than propane but requires more oxygen for complete combustion.
