    1. Carbon and hydrogen

    2. The ratio is C : H = > 4 : 10

    3. C4H10

    Explanation:

    1. Butane is made up carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)

    2. Butane is the 4th member of the alkane series

    The alkanes has generated formula CnH2n+2

    Butane is number 4 in the family i. e n = 4

    Butane = > CnH2n+2

    Butane = > C4H2x4 + 2

    Butane = > C4H8+2

    Butane = > C4H10

    Therefore, the ratio of carbon and hydrogen in butane is:

    C : H = > 4 : 10

    3. Butane contain carbon and hydrogen in the ratio 4 : 10. Therefore, butane is represented as C4H10
