Toluene Solvent

Product Details:

Acetone is a colorless, flammable, and volatile solvent with a distinct, sweet odor. It is one of the simplest and most widely used organic solvents in both industrial and laboratory settings. Here’s a detailed overview of acetone:

• Chemical formula: C₃H₆O (CH₃COCH₃)
• Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
• Odor: Sweet, pungent, characteristic odor (often described as similar to that of nail polish remover)
• Boiling point: 56.05°C (132.89°F)
• Melting point: −94.7°C (−138.5°F)
• Density: 0.791 g/cm³ at 20°C
• Vapor pressure: 233 mmHg at 20°C
• Solubility: Miscible with water, ethanol, ether, chloroform, and many other organic solvents

• Ketone Group: Acetone is a ketone, a class of organic compounds characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms. In acetone, the carbonyl group is bonded to two methyl groups (CH₃).
• Highly Volatile: Acetone evaporates quickly at room temperature due to its low boiling point and high vapor pressure.
• Reactivity: Acetone is generally stable under normal conditions. However, it can undergo reactions such as oxidation, halogenation, and condensation under appropriate conditions.
