"It auto-ignites at 465 °C (869 °F). Autoignition temperature is also dependent upon the exposure time, thus at some tests it is quoted as 525°C. Also, industrial acetone is likely to contain small amount of water which also inhibits ignition."
Hope this helps

Actually it can on sensitive skin for instance in the mouth or on the gums. So in conclusion don't swallow acetone.:)

How can an oxygen-acetylene torch burn underwater?
a flame needs a source which is provided by oxygen and acetylene
Is acetylene gas harmful to the human body?
If you get acetylene on you, you must quickly seek medical attention and stay far away from any kind of spark or flame otherwise you will instantly catch fire and probably burn to death.
Is acetylene an inert gas?
It burns quite well. Acetylene (IUPAC: ethyne) is used in welding torches. It will burn at 514 degrees Fahrenheit (ChaCha Answers).
What polymers are derived from acetylene gas is called polychloroprene?
Acetylene
Is acetylene a hetergeneous a homogeneous?
Acetylene is a pure substance so it is homogeneous.
How can an oxygen-acetylene torch burn underwater?
a flame needs a source which is provided by oxygen and acetylene
How hot does a torch burn at?
With the correct mixture of Acetylene and Oxygen the flame can reach 5,000F or more. Other fuels (Propane etc.) do not create temperatures this high.
How hot does rocket fuel burn?
6,300 degrees fahrenheit which is the same temperature as the oxy-acetylene cutting torch flame and in fact the oxy-acetylene cutting torch flame looks exactly the same as the rocket engine flame. Vincent Majerowicz
What would you have to burn to reach 3000 degrees?
Simply burn the Acetylene (Ethyne) gas in open air. (As in case of gas welding).
Can you use argon and acetylene together?
acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.
What tool mixes gas and air to produce a hot flame?
oxy-acetylene torch
How hot can a cutting torch get?
Oxygen Acetylene torch will get to 5800-6300 degrees Fahrenheit easily.
Igneous rock?
HOT HOT BURN BURN COOLS AND HARDENS

Why doesn't oxygen in an oxyacetylene torch burn without the acetylene yet medical oxygen is explosive?
Oxygen is not actually explosive. In an acetylene torch, the torch burns the acetylene and the oxygen only facilitates combustion, so it is not burning the oxygen. Hospitals warn of the explosion hazard of oxygen because pure oxygen accelerates the burn of fuel so fast that it is like an explosion. In common air there is roughly 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, all fuels must have oxygen to burn and when pure oxygen is introduced the fire then has more oxygen thus it accelerates the fire.
What type of torch should you use for soldering water heater fittings only?
Most use propane, but you can use acetylene also. Just as long as you don't get it too hot. Propane will not melt copper, but acetylene will.
