Description

Acetone (also known as Propanone, 2-Propanone, ketonepropane, dimethylketal, Methyl ketone, pyroacetic acid, chevron acetone, beta-ketopropane) is the simplest representative of the group of chemical compounds known as ketones. This organic solvent has a chemical formula C3H6O.  It is colorless, pungent, floral or irritating smell, volatile, flammable liquid. It is found in the exhaust from vehicles, plants, trees and forest fires. It is also found in the human body usually present in urine and blood. Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important laboratory solvent for cleaning purposes. Acetone is a highly effective solvent for many organic compounds such as Methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, pyridine, etc., and is the active ingredient in nail polish remover. It is also used to make various plastics, fibers, drugs, and other chemicals.
