When heat is added to a beaker of liquid acetone, the acetone molecules gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increased energy causes the acetone molecules to evaporate and transition to the gas phase. If the temperature is high enough, the acetone molecules may also undergo further reactions, such as decomposition or combustion.

What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a breaker of liquid acetone?

When heat is added to a beaker of liquid acetone, the acetone molecules gain energy and begin to evaporate into the air as a gas. The increased temperature causes the molecules to move faster and escape the liquid phase.


Is acetone vapor or gas?

Acetone exists as a liquid at room temperature but can evaporate to form acetone vapor, which is a gas made up of acetone molecules.


What happens when you pore acetone on your palm and why?

Acetone is a volatile substance so it will evaporate. It will absorb heat from your palm and quickly convert from liquid to gas


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.


What happens when an object is dropped into a beaker containing a liquid and then the object drops to the bottom of the beaker?

The density of the object is at least equal to, and possibly greater than, the density of the liquid in the beaker.


What happens to molecules when water is heated from 90 to 110 Celsius?

The liquid molecules are transformed in gas molecules.


What happens to molecules in the outermost layer of ice when you hold it in your hand?

These molecules are transformed in a liquid.


What kind of gas smells like acetone?

Acetone in the gaseous form (when liquid acetone evaporates).


Why do acetone in an open bottle or container evaporates as gas?

Acetone evaporates as a gas because its molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape from the liquid phase and enter the gas phase. Since acetone has a relatively low boiling point, it evaporates easily at room temperature, even in an open bottle or container.


Is acetone a water soluble liquid?

Acetone and water are miscible liquids.
