What Is Involved in Acetone Production?

Acetone, the English name is acetone, and its molecular formula is CH ₃ COCH _3. Also known as dimethyl ketone, it is the simplest saturated ketone. It is a colorless transparent liquid with a special spicy odor. Soluble in water and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, and pyridine. Flammable, volatile, and chemically active.

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]
