dissolution is a physical property
Acetone is a chemical. It has both chemical and physical properties.
Mixing is a physical process not a property.
Acetone or any nonpolar solvent
The melting point of acetone is approximately -94.9 °C or -139 °F
Making a solution of something does not change its chemical make-up, it is simply dissolved in something else. For instance, salt dissolved in water is salt water -- the salt is still there and still tastes salty. So, it is a physical change.
Dichloromethane is the solvent. Do not inhale!
When acetone is poured on styrofoam, it rapidly dissolves the polystyrene in the styrofoam, causing the material to break down and disappear. This chemical reaction releases gases and can produce a sticky or gooey residue. It is important to handle acetone with caution as it is flammable and volatile.
A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal structure must be affected for its chemical properties to be investigated. (Wikipedia)A physical property is any aspect of an object or substance that can be measured or perceived without changing its identity. (Wikipedia)A substance's ability to dissolve in acetone would be classified as a chemical property, since, technically, dissolution is a chemical reaction for which the following generic equation holds:AB -> A+ + B-where A denotes the cation and B denotes the anion. Furthermore, dissolution does change the internal structure of the substance, changing it from a neutral compound to a solution of ions.
Acetone dissolves Stan's sealant.
The reaction of acetone melting a Styrofoam cup is a type of solvent action rather than a chemical reaction. Acetone, a powerful organic solvent, dissolves the polystyrene that makes up Styrofoam, leading to the breakdown of its structure. This process is primarily physical, as it involves the solvation of the material rather than a chemical change. The result is the collapse and dissolution of the Styrofoam into a gooey substance.
Yes, PLA (polylactic acid) dissolves in acetone.
It has a high vapor pressure (it is volatile).
