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.

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.
Is acetone a compound element or mixture?
acetone is a organic compound. it is colorless and flammable liquid. it is made from propene
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.
Is the melting point of acetone a chemical?
The melting point of acetone is approximately -94.9 °C or -139 °F
Will acetone bond plastic?
yes, some plastics will bond with the use of acetone, the chemical reaction causes the plastic components bond

Chemical name of acetone?
Acetone has no ingredients per se. Asking about the ingredients in acetone is like asking what the ingredients in water (H2O) are. If you take any atoms away from the molecule of acetone, it's no longer acetone. The chemical formula for acetone, however, is: (CH3)2 CO.
