butánt

Butant is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C4H10. It is a saturated hydrocarbon, meaning it consists only of carbon and hydrogen atoms connected by single bonds. Butant is one of the two structural isomers of butane, the other being isobutane (2-methylpropane). In butant, the carbon atoms are arranged in a linear chain.

Butant is a colorless gas at standard temperature and pressure, and it is highly flammable. Its boiling point is approximately -0.5 degrees Celsius (31.1 degrees Fahrenheit), and its melting point is around -138.3 degrees Celsius (-216.9 degrees Fahrenheit). It is a nonpolar molecule, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.

This compound is a component of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is commonly used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and in vehicles. Butant is also used as a propellant in aerosol cans and as a refrigerant. It can be produced from petroleum refining and natural gas processing. Exposure to high concentrations of butant can cause dizziness, headaches, and nausea due to its anesthetic properties.
