The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane,C4H10 . How many carbon atoms are in 2.00 g of butane?
Express your answer numerically in atoms.
Moles butane = 2.00 / 58.124 = 0.0344
Moles C = 0.0344 x 4 =0.138
Carbons atoms = 0.138 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 8.28 x 10^22
Awesome! Another lighting video.
I know good sites that sell wholesales of disposable lighters for about $114 (for 1,000 disp. lighters). I was thinknig of buying then and selling them, but to who? I am only 15 (almost 16) years old, but is there anyway/where i can sell them. I am trying to make as much money as i can and i have paypal and ebay which is where i would be getting them. Also i was thinking of re-selling them for about $.50- $.75 a lighter, is that good? and any other info about this, like is it even possible?
To be honest, I wouldn't. There are other things you could sell, other than lighters. I don't know where you could sell them other than at your school, and you'd get busted there anyway. I'd go to Oriental Trading Co. and buy a bunch of stuff like neon bracelets and stuff and sell those. With tougher teen smoking laws, I think you're treading on thin ice with lighters.
Any time I see one on the street I pick it up because there are kids out there, but is it safe to garbage them?
That's where you usually put disposable products. Anyway, yeah it is fine to stick it in the garbage, if you are skeptical, then just light it for a few minutes until all the lighter fluid is used up.
I bought one that stopped working after one day ... thats never happenned to me before ... I threw it away, but I really should have gone back, showed it to them and got my dollar back
The flint in the lighter might've been really short, or the fuel could've been too weak. Oh, and returning lighters isn't worth it. :P
you know those small colorful ones like you find in covenient stores. do you have to be like 18 or can you get them at any age?
Moles butane (C4H10) = 4.00 / 58.124 g = 0.0688
Moles C = 4 x 0.0688 = 0.275
All about lighter fluid
Having a lighter powered by lighter fluid is a standard these days. No matter what type of a lighter you have, they are all powered by lighter fluid which makes the flames. Over time it has been proven that the only way for any lighter to work is with a flammable liquid which would be lid it produce fire. The inner workings of the lighter are a bit more complicated than that, but nevertheless still simple to grasp.
There are basically two types of lighters – disposable and non disposable lighters. Depending on the type, they use different lighter fluid. The first is disposable lighter fluid. Disposable lighters are very cheap and most commonly used until they run out. Usually people don’t refill them with lighter fluid simply because it’s too much of a hustle and not worthy. You can simply buy a new disposable lighter already filled with lighter fluid. There is, of course the chance for you to still go out there, buy lighter fluid and refill your disposable lighter. I’ve seen some lighters which work in the same way as cheap disposable lighters. Some companies such as Ronson also produce premium lighters which look very good but use the same mechanism. For those lighters, you can buy this lighter fluid and refill them so you can use them as much as you want. One thing you should remember with lighter fluid for disposable lighters is extremely flammable. You must not keep it with children’s reach. If you do you are risking their health.
The second type of lighters is non-disposable lighters. Most of the time these include Star lighters and Zippo lighters both known as oil lighter. With non-disposable lighters the lighter fluid is sold almost everywhere because the owner of the lighter is supposed to refill his lighter with charcoal lighter fluid in order for it to function. Zipo lighters work by having lighter fluid in their container. When the metal hits the flint it makes a spark which lights the fuse on fire. This works all the time because the fuse is connected to the lighter fluid. This lighter fluid isn’t expensive at all so you can find it in pretty much any convenient store. For some users it’s better to go online and order the lighter fluid from there. However this lighter fluid is dangerous to keep near fire. There have been a lot of accidents where lighter fluid has been the cause of a big fire so I would advise you to keep your lighter fluid on a safe place.
