well ether tend to evaporate easily in room temperature, lowering the temperature would probably lower the chance of it evaporating. Also, they're both flammable; keeping them below their flash point reduces the chance of an explosion.

∙ 7y agoSince ether and acetone are both rather volatile (evaporate easily; have a high vapor pressure), they are kept in a cool place to limit or reduce the rate of evaporation.

Safety precautions of acetone?
Acetone is very flammable and should be kept in a cool place. If it is spilled on skin or eyes, it should be washed off immediately.
Why do liquids cool as evaporation takes place?
They don't.
What is change in the physical state of both lavender oil vapour and water vapour as they cool?
they turn from gas to liquid
What does a gas cool off to become?
Under normal circumstances, gas becomes a liquid when it cools and condenses.
What happens to gases when they lose heat Do they condense into liquids?
Depends on how much heat they loose and which gas (or mixture of gasses) they are. But yes, cool most gasses enough and they liquify (and then solidify if cold enough).
Why hot liquids float above cool liquids?
Hot liquids float above cool liquids because hot liquids weight less than cold liquids.not useful
Why does your plam feel cool when you put some acetone on it?
Because the acetone takes some of the heat from your hand and uses it to evaporate.
What happens to the particles when liquids cool?
When liquids cool, the particles tend to tighten up, or get really close together, and slow down.
What are immiscible liquids and examples?

What does it mean when a baby mouse shivers a lot?

Can minerals can precipitate when liquids cool or evaporate?
yes
Why do liquids cool as evaporation takes place?
They don't.
Why do your palms feel cool when you put some acetone petrol or perfume on it?
This feels cool on your skin because an endothermic reactions is happening. The reactants have less energy than the products as the reaction is absorbing heat from the surroundings. The enthalpy is therefore a positive value. Since it is absorbing heat from the surroundings, your skin feels cool.Another answer Those liquids evaporate very quickly. As they evaporate, they cool, and you feel the coolness on your skin.
What are facts about liquids solids and gases?
Five facts: 1. When liquids cool down, they become solids. 2. When gases cool down, they become liquids. 3. When solids heat up, they become liquids. 4. When liquids heat up, they become gases. 5. Some liquids will only freeze in temperatures that can never be recreated by humans.
When was Cool Places created?
Cool Places was created in 1983-04.
What do you do when your really hot?
Drink cool -- not cold -- liquids, and rest in a cool place with a breeze, if possible.
