Acetone has various functions.

It can be used as a powerful solvent for cleaning beakers, desks etc.

It can have dry ice added to it in order to cool a reaction down to approx -70 degrees centigrade.

It can be used as a solvent in some synthesis or as a reagent its self.

How many acetone molecules are in a bottle of acetone with a volume of 330 ml?

Assuming the density of acetone is 0.79 g/ml, and the molar mass of acetone is 58.08 g/mol, you can calculate the number of acetone molecules in 330 ml using Avogadro's number. This will give you approximately 6.69 x 10^23 molecules of acetone in a 330 ml bottle of acetone.
