Acetone is a volatile liquid, that is, it has a low boiling point. Even room temperature is sufficient to make acetone turn into vapour.

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.

To safely mix acetone and alcohol for a project without causing harm, ensure proper ventilation, wear protective gear like gloves and goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid open flames or sparks, as acetone is flammable. Gradually mix small amounts of acetone into alcohol, stirring gently. Store the mixture in a tightly sealed container away from heat or sunlight. If unsure, consult a professional or reference material safety data sheets.


What is the best way to get a solid back once it's dissolved in water?

To retrieve a solid back that has dissolved in water, you can evaporate the water by leaving it out in an open container or using a gentle heat source like a hot plate. As the water evaporates, the solid should reappear. You can then scrape it off the container to collect it.

Is carrying an pre drank bottle that is closed and in a bag a crime?

If you are a minor it is. It may be an open container law violation. Most states consider a bottle to be an open container once it has been opened, regardless of whether or not the top has been put back on. If it is in a vehicle or in a place where open alcohol is prohibited, it may fall under this crime. Check your local open container statutes if this is your concern.

Why is there a mist over the neck of the bottle when you open a chilled bottle of lemonade?

Any liquid left in a container will evaporate. When placed in a closed container, there will be an equilibrium between the liquid and its vapour present above the liquid. When the bottle is chilled, the falling temperature causes the vapour present above the liquid to condense to form liquid again which appears as mist on the inside of bottle.
