Question

The number of organic compounds produced by the thermal
decomposition of butane is

Answer 1

There are four organic compounds that are produced as a result of the thermal decomposition of butane.

They are as follows-

• H2
• CH4
• CZHr
• C2HG

Butane which is also known as butane is an alkane. Its formula is C₄H₁₀. Its characteristics are as follows-

• At normal room temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is a gas.
• It is extremely flammable.
• It is colorless.
• It vaporizes very quickly at room temperature.
• It is a gas that can be liquified quite easily.

Butane is used in various ways. Some of them are as follows-

• Lighters.
• LPG, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of organic compound formed by decomposition of butane is $4$

Explanation:

• Butane is also known as n-butane.
• It is colourless and highly flamable hence is used in LPG's.
• It can also be compressed and liquified easily and hence is used in lighters.
• It vaporizes quickly at room temperature.
  Butane when termally decomposed breaks in 4 different compounds
• $H_{2}$
• $CZH_{r}$
• $CH_{4}$
• $C_{2}HG$
