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.
As most catalysts are quite specific in the (or at least the type of) reaction, in others not working at all, I can't give an answer for 'your acetone-reaction'. But to my best knowledge there are very few reactions I can think of being catalysed by acetone; never heard of, you know.
No, because when you add acetone to acetone, all you are doing is adding more of the volume of acetone to acetone. You are just changing the amount of acetone, not anything chemically happening.
Yes, mainly there are 3 types of acetone: regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula, maximum strength acetone.
Its a polyatomic ion called Acetate
Acetone exists as a liquid at room temperature but can evaporate to form acetone vapor, which is a gas made up of acetone molecules.
Acetone will not make Styrofoam hard. Putting Styrofoam in acetone will dissolve how to do it is easy. Place a bit of acetone into a bowl then put in the Styrofoam in the bowl and it will dissolve away.
Yes. Acetone is a degreaser
Its ethanol.. NOT acetone!!
Acetone in the gaseous form (when liquid acetone evaporates).
The pKa of acetone is approximately 19.2. This means that acetone is a relatively weak acid.
Use acetone. If you don't have acetone, use nail polish remover. It has acetone in it.
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.
