Which of the following gas is used in cigarette lighters ?

  • A.Ethane
  • B.Butane
  • C.Propane
  • D.Methane

Answer: B

Butane is used in cigarette lighters.

It liquefies under modest pressure at room temperature - a few atmospheres are enough - so a large amount of fuel is stored in a small transparent reservoir, and it vaporises instantly on release. Propane would need a much stronger container.
