Acetone is considered a drying agent, or desiccant, because of its miscibility in water and volatility. Being miscible in water means that it is soluble (forms a homogeneous mixture) in all proportions. It's high vapor pressure causes it to be volatile, meaning that it evaporates readily in a relatively low-pressure environment.
