The three liquids have different densities. Water has a density of 1g/mL. Acetone has a density of 0.791g/mL. Ethanol has the density of 0.789g/mL. Also, ethanol has the strong smell that resembles one of nail polish remover. Ethanol is used in alcohol. Acetone is practically a type of acid.

∙ 14y agoIn the perfect world, water has a pH of 7, and almost anything can dissolve in it, and also, it has some fine particles in it making it a pH of 8, unlike acetone, acetone is a solvent with many things mixed in it, thus making the polarity lower than water i.e acetone is found in nail polish remover think of how many things that can dissolve in it compared to water

∙ 10y agoAcetone is an organic compound belonging to a class of substances called ketones. It is a volatile, highly flammable liquid with toxic vapors. It is soluble in water but does not have andy notable effect on pH.
Acids cover a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds. The common characteristic is that an acid will generally release hydrogen ions (H+) in water or will donate a hydrogen ion to another molecule or ion. In water, the addition of an acid will lower the pH.
The words acid and acetone may sound similar, but they are completely unrelated.

What statements is true about vapor pressure?
The vapor pressure of 1 m sucrose (C12H22O11) is higher than the vapor pressure of 1 m NaCl where the solvent is water Sea water has a lower vapor pressure than distilled water. The vapor pressure of 0.5 m NaNO3 is the same as the vapor pressure of 0.5 m KBr, assuming that the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 0.10 m KCl is the same as the vapor pressure of 0.05 m AlCl3 assuming the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 1 m NaCl is lower than the vapor pressure of 0.5 m KNO3, assuming that the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 0.10 m NaCl is lower than the vapor pressure of 0.05 m MgCl2 assuming the solvent in each case is water.
How does vapor pressure of water at 50 oC compare with its vapor pressure at 50 oC?
The saturated vapor pressure of water at 50 oC is 123,39 mm Hg.
What does the vapor pressure of water at 10 C compare with its vapor pressure at 50 C?
At higher temperature the vapor pressure is higher.
What has a higher vapor pressure water at sea level or the mountains?
water at sea level has higher vapor pressure
Is the vapor pressure of chloroform less than that of water?
No, the vapor pressure of chloroform is higher than that of Water. The normal boiling point of chloroform is at 61 °C and approx. 39 °C lower than that of water. For calculating vapor pressures of chloroform and water at different pressures you could visit the links below.
Why did water dried up first than acetone and alcohol?
water has a lower vapor pressure than alcohol or acetone, so it requires more heat energy to cause it to evaporate.
Why acetone have more cooling effect than water?
Acetone has a lower boiling pt. than water because it has a higher vapor pressure. Liquids boil at the temperature where their vapor pressure is equal to the atmoshperic pressure. The temperature that acetone must get to, such that its v.p. is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere, is lower than what is required for water. Therefore, acetone has a lower B.P.
What does barometric pressure have to do with evaporation?
Above the surface of liquid water is a layer of water vapor. It has pressure. The atmosphere also has pressure. It pushes against the water vapor. The water vapor pushes against the atmosphere. It is called vapor pressure. It is related to temperature. When the vapor pressure equals barometric pressure, water boils. Normally this occurs at 100C or 212F. If you reduce the barometric pressure, you can reduce the boiling point of water. So when the barometric pressure is lower, the water vapor above the water has an easier time mixing with the atmosphere. As it mixes with the atmosphere, it is replaced by vapor from the water. It evaporates.

What is vapor pressure of water?
The vapor pressure of pure water at 25 degrees Celsius is 23.8 torr.
How does vapor pressure of water at 50 oC compare with its vapor pressure at 50 oC?
The saturated vapor pressure of water at 50 oC is 123,39 mm Hg.
What will a hydrate do if its vapor pressure is higher than the vapor pressure of the water vapor in the air?

What does the vapor pressure of water at 10 C compare with its vapor pressure at 50 C?
At higher temperature the vapor pressure is higher.
What has a higher vapor pressure water at sea level or the mountains?
water at sea level has higher vapor pressure
Compare the vapor pressure of water at 10 C with its vapor pressure at 50 C?
Vapor pressure of water at 10 0C is less than that at 50 0C because, like gas pressure, as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of particles increases, thus increasing pressure. So the pressure of water vapor at 50 0C has more vapor pressure than at 10 0C.
Is the vapor pressure of chloroform less than that of water?
No, the vapor pressure of chloroform is higher than that of Water. The normal boiling point of chloroform is at 61 °C and approx. 39 °C lower than that of water. For calculating vapor pressures of chloroform and water at different pressures you could visit the links below.
How is vapor water different from liquid water?
Water vapor is different from liquid water because water vapor is a gas, and liquid water is a liquid.
