What is the difference between acetone and methyl ethyl ketone?
Chemically the difference is 1 carbon and 2 hydrogen atoms. Acetone ==> CH3-CHO-CH3 MEK (Butanone) ==> CH3-CHO-CH2-CH3 Their properties are therefore very similar because of this. MEK HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Acetone HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Acetone also happens to be much cheaper. As for uses, since acetone evaporates quicker it is often used as a paint thinner as it will not prolong the drying time as much as MEK would. Acetone is also a better solvent because looking at the structure of the molecule it has a more medium polarity than MEK, and thus dissolves a wider range of compounds.
How many styrofoam peanuts will dissolve in acetone?
The solvent in the acetone( mostly found in polish remover) will allow the styrofoam to melt.
Inhaled mercury vapor?
Inhaled mercury vapor in small amounts, for adults, can have little or no effect at all. If too much is inhaled, this is absorbed through the lungs, allowing much of it to reach the brain.
Can nitrogen killllllllllllllll you?
no. it helps your health. it would be best if you inhaled as much as possible. no. it helps your health. it would be best if you inhaled as much as possible.
What is more reactive acetone or alcohol?
Acetone is more reactive than alcohol. The reason for this, is because alcohol dries up extremely quickly, and it evaporates fast, so it doesn't have much time to react.

How much acid and base is in acetone?
Acetone is a pure organic liquid no acid or base is in it.

How much acetone (CH3COCH3) would be needed to obtain 3.35 moles of acetone The density of acetone is 0.851 gmL.?
3,35 moles of acetone is equal to 194,57 g.

Can styrofoam melted by acetone harden like plastic?
Yes, it can, just don't add too much acetone.
What to do when inhaled to much antifreeze vapor?
Get fresh air immediatly. Read or have someone else read the bottle for any instructions. If you don't have the container then you should call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 or call 911 and ask them.
What is the reaction of polystyrene and acetone?
The mixture of Polystyrene and Acetone results in the creation of a sticky residue as the Polystyrene beads dissolve into the Acetone. You can use Nail polish remover with Acetone. However, the chemical reaction occurs at a much more rapid pace with pure Acetone.
What is more 100 percent acetone Acetone that you get at a hardware or paint store or acetone nail polish remover?
If you buy something at a hardware or paint store labelled "acetone", it should also specify the purity, or perhaps the maximum impurity (something like "98% pure" or "< 0.5 % water") Acetone nail polish remover probably won't. It should have an ingredients list, but that only tells you what's in it, not how much. It's a good bet that the bottle labelled "acetone" is considerably more pure than a bottle labelled "nail polish remover", because most nail polish removers I've seen have significant quantities of other solvents (ethyl acetate, for example).
Why should acetylene tanks never be used while laying on there sides?
They are not hollow- they are filled with a spongy material that is saturated with liquid acetone. When the acetylene is pumped into the tank, it dissolves in the acetone, much like CO2 dissolving in a bottle of soda. If the tanks are laid on their sides, the acetone will be forced out into the hoses and torch. You will get a strange flame with a lot of excess carbon. Tanks that have been laid down should be stood up, and left in that position for at least an hour so that the acetone moves back towards the bottom of the spongy material.
How do you know if you have inhaled too much smoke?
if you are a smoker of course you should stop. but until then have frequent trips to the docter and get tested for diffrent illnesses. from, michelle
