Some properties of acetone include flammability and volatility. Acetone is an excellent low density organic solvent, and is also a metabolic side product, and thus can be found in blood in small concentrations.

∙ 14y agoThe proper IUPAC name for acetone is 2-propanone, which should be enough to tell you the structure; here's a somewhat lame attempt at representing it in ASCII: H3C-CO-CH3 (The "CO" is actually a carbonyl group: an sp2 carbon doubly bonded with oxygen.)

Dissolves in acetone is that a physical or chemical change?
Making a solution of something does not change its chemical make-up, it is simply dissolved in something else. For instance, salt dissolved in water is salt water -- the salt is still there and still tastes salty. So, it is a physical change.
Does acetone reacts with acetone?
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.
Is acetone used to dissolve and remove nail polish a physical change?
Yes it is. Sources: I'm smart with science :P
Is the flammability of acetone a physical or chemical property?
A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal structure must be affected for its chemical properties to be investigated. (Wikipedia)A physical property is any aspect of an object or substance that can be measured or perceived without changing its identity. (Wikipedia)A substance's ability to dissolve in acetone would be classified as a chemical property, since, technically, dissolution is a chemical reaction for which the following generic equation holds:AB -> A+ + B-where A denotes the cation and B denotes the anion. Furthermore, dissolution does change the internal structure of the substance, changing it from a neutral compound to a solution of ions.
What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a breaker of liquid acetone?
Acetone molecules evaporate when you add heat to a beaker of liquid acetone.
Is Acetone a physical property or chemical property?
Acetone is a chemical. It has both chemical and physical properties.
Can acetone substitute ethyl acetate?
No. In the biochemical World, ketones - of which acetone is just one example, [the -one suffix denotes a specific substance that has a special double bond configuration] - and acids and acetates are not interchangeable.
What chemical properties of nail polish remover make this product useful?
Nail polish remover is mostly Acetone. The formula for Acetone is C3H6O
Is dissolves in acetone a physical or chemical property?
dissolution is a physical property
When mixed with acetone is it a physical or chemical property?
Mixing is a physical process not a property.
When polystyrene dissolves in acetone what properties does the solution have and what gas is given off?
Ammonia
When Styrofoam burns is it a chemical change?
It's a physical change because the properties of the foam is still the same. It's just that the acetone dissolved the foam or it just let out all the air that's in the foam
What physical property makes acetone so dangerous?
It has a high vapor pressure (it is volatile).

How many type of acetone?
Yes, mainly there are 3 types of acetone: regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula, maximum strength acetone.
