Effects on Freezing Point Hence, the two isomers differ in certain temperatures of the freezing point. Normal butane melts at -216.9° F (-138.3° C) and isobutane melts at -229° F (-145° C). Effects on Boiling Point Therefore, normal butane boils at 31.1° F (-0.5° C), and isobutane boils at 13.6° F (-10.2° C).
