CAS 106-97-8: Butane

Description: Butane, with the CAS number 106-97-8, is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature and pressure, belonging to the alkane family of hydrocarbons. It has a molecular formula of C4H10 and exists in two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane (or methylpropane). Butane is characterized by its relatively low boiling point, which allows it to be easily liquefied under pressure, making it useful as a fuel in lighters and portable stoves. It is also employed as a refrigerant and in the production of various chemicals. Butane is non-toxic but can pose risks due to its flammability and potential for asphyxiation in confined spaces. Its combustion produces carbon dioxide and water, but incomplete combustion can lead to the formation of carbon monoxide, a hazardous gas. Butane is soluble in organic solvents but has low solubility in water. Proper handling and storage are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use, particularly in industrial and laboratory settings.
