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.

Is the melting point of acetone a chemical?
The melting point of acetone is approximately -94.9 °C or -139 °F
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 used to dissolve and remove nail polish a physical change?
Yes it is. Sources: I'm smart with science :P
Is methyl hydrate the same as acetone?
Yes, methyl hydrate is another name for methanol, while acetone is a different chemical compound. Methanol is a type of alcohol with the chemical formula CH3OH, while acetone has the chemical formula (CH3)2CO and is a type of ketone.
What happens if acetone is kept open?
If acetone is kept open, it will evaporate quickly due to its high volatility. This can lead to a decrease in the volume of acetone and a potential fire hazard due to the flammability of its vapors. It is important to keep acetone stored in a well-ventilated area with a tightly sealed lid when not in use.
Is Acetone a physical property or chemical property?
Acetone is a chemical. It has both chemical and physical properties.
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.
Is the melting point of acetone a chemical?
The melting point of acetone is approximately -94.9 °C or -139 °F
What physical property makes acetone so dangerous?
It has a high vapor pressure (it is volatile).
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.
In which class does acetone belong to?
In terms of chemical class, acetone is a ketone and, more broadly, an organic chemical. In terms of hazard classification, acetone is a Class 3 Flammable Liquid
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.
What is the chemical equation of acetone?
Ch3coch3
What chemical will dissolve plastic?
