Most modern lighters use butane. It is liquid under pressure but vaporizes when released. Butane lighters have no wick and make a slight hissing sound when in use. Lighters with a wick use a liquid fuel that is naphtha-based.

Octane and its isomers are among the ingredients with the formula C8H18
The chemical name of lighter fluid is naphtha, which is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. It is commonly used as a fuel in portable stoves, lanterns, and lighters.

What is the chemical reaction of a dispoiable lighter
Charcoal lighter fluid typically contains a mixture of hydrocarbons, including butane and propane, to help ignite charcoal for grilling. It does not typically contain hexane.
To the original poster, your answer is incomplete. Here is MSDS statistics about Zippo fluid. 100% VM & P Naphtha VM&P=Varnish Makers and Painters Essentially it is Paint Stripper
Yes, Zippo lighter fluid does contain naphtha as the primary ingredient. It is a petroleum-based solvent that helps the fuel ignite easily and burn consistently in Zippo lighters.
If your ice tastes like lighter fluid or another chemical, it's possible that there is a problem with your ice maker or with the water supply to your ice maker. It could be due to residue from cleaning chemicals, a malfunctioning water filter, or contamination from the water source. It's important to address this issue promptly and consider having your water tested to ensure it is safe for consumption.
No. Lighter fluid is usually butane, a flammable substance known as a hydrocarbon with chemical formula C4H10. A spark ignites the butane, allowing the lighter to function.
The chemical make up of odorless charcoal lighter fluid includes methanol or ethanol.
Yes , as is Zippo lighter fluid .
Lighter Fluid
any lighter fluid, except for bic lighter fluid
Slide the lighter body out of the lighter case, by pulling on the wick cage. With the lighter body upside down squirt lighter fluid into the fiber packing in the lighter until saturated. Reassemble the lighter body into the lighter case. Let excess lighter fluid evaporate before using the lighter.
Butanone is the IUPAC name. It's not necessary to specify the position of the carbonyl, since if it was at one of the ends it would be an aldehyde instead of a ketone, and the 2 and 3 positions are identical due to symmetry.
Butane, but I know there's a better one though. Butane is like the standard, while you could buy higher end fuels.
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
Butane.
no, lighter fluid is not flamable if it is dry, because the "Dryness" is caused by the evaporation of the fluid. Basically, its not there anymore.
I'm kind of at a loss that the question even has to be answered but, no, you can not use dry cleaning fluid in a cigarette lighter.
