Propanone (acetone) is pretty much non-polar, and that means it doesn't want to dissolve a polar molecule. Salt is an ionic compound and is extremely polar.

Why does propanone have no effect on salt?

Propanone (acetone) does not have any effect on salt because acetone is a non-polar solvent, while salt is an ionic compound. Non-polar solvents like acetone cannot dissolve ionic compounds like salt due to their different types of chemical bonding. The lack of similar interactions between the solvent and solute prevents any noticeable effect on the salt.

What happens when propanone is reduced?

When propanone is reduced, it forms propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) as the main product. The reduction process involves adding hydrogen atoms to the carbonyl group of propanone, resulting in the conversion of the C=O bond to a C-OH bond.
