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
Dichloromethane is the solvent. Do not inhale!
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.
It has a high vapor pressure (it is volatile).
The chemical formula of tin IV acetate is Sn(C2H3O2)4.
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.
the styrofoam dissolves
Both styrofoam and acetone are non-polar molecules, and like-dissolves-like.
use a nail varnish that doesn't contain acetone as the acetone dissolves the acrylic!
Ammonia
