The butane gas is in liquid state in the lighter . This is because , when it is placed in the body of the lighter , it is placed there under very high pressure as compared to the open air in standard atmospheric temperature and pressure . Increasing the pressure of the butane gas forces the molecules closer together. When comparing propane and butane, the most important differences come down to the boiling point of the gases. Propane has a boiling temperature of -42°C, whilst butane has a higher boiling point at -2°C. When stored as a liquid in a tank, propane also exerts a greater pressure than butane at the same temperature.
