Propane itself is non polar, but the presence of the ketone group (C=O) in propanone makes it a polar molecule (oxygen has partial -ve charge). As propanone is a small molecule it can be soluble in water, which itself is 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.
