- Appearance and properties: colorless, transparent and easy-to-flow liquid with aromatic odor and extremely volatile.
- Melting point (° C): -94.6
- Boiling point (° C): 56.5
- Acetone is an important organic synthetic raw material used in production
- Rumor : It is known that acetone is usually a colorless liquid, insoluble in water, less dense than water, and a boiling point of 55 ° C. To separate acetone from a mixture of water and acetone, the most reasonable method in the following is
- Refutation : Acetone is completely miscible with water and cannot be separated at all. Acetone is a typical solvent that is miscible with polar and non-polar solvents such as water, ethanol, polyols, esters, ethers, ketones, hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons. [1]
