They mix. Acetone is soluble in water. It changes the color to a milky white, while thinning the water.

Note: I had another chemical that's only soluble in acetone already dissolved in the acetone when I once tried adding water to increase the volume of the mixture. (I wasn't really thinking it through when I did it.) Anyways, this could be responsible for the color change, but I know that they do definitely mix, and it thins out the water.

A potential benefit of the thinning aspect is that if you wanted the water to seep through a small opening, and you had a slow drip or no drip, after adding acetone it will go right through.

Is acetone an aqueous solution?

Acetone may be considered the solute and air the solvent.


Why does acetone evaporate so fast?

Acetone evaporates faster than alcohol and water because alcohol and water contain intermolecular hydrogen bonding but acetone does not. This is the reason alcohol and water have higher boiling point than acetone and evaporate slower than it.


What neutralizes acitone?

A solvent like water can help dilute and neutralize acetone. Mixing baking soda or vinegar with water can also help neutralize acetone by creating a chemical reaction that reduces its potency. Additionally, using activated charcoal or kitty litter can help absorb and neutralize acetone vapors in the air.


What is the VOC level of acetone?

The VOC (volatile organic compound) level of acetone is high, which means that it has a high potential for evaporating into the air and contributing to air pollution. It is important to use acetone in well-ventilated areas to minimize its impact on indoor air quality.


Is air a aqueous solution?

No, air is not an aqueous solution. Aqueous solutions are solutions in which water is the solvent, while air is a mixture of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others.


What are examples of gaseous solute?

For example soda, beer, champagne and all fizzy drinks are solutions of carbon dioxide in water.

What forms oxides that are common air pollutants and that yield acidic solutions in water?

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are common air pollutants that form acidic oxides when released into the atmosphere. When these oxides react with water, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, respectively, leading to acid rain.


Why do air bubbles form when you pour water from a height?

When water falls from a height, it traps air along with it, forming bubbles. This happens because the force of impact creates turbulence in the water, causing air from the surroundings to mix in and form bubbles as the water splashes.


What form of water end the air?

Water that evaporates will rise and form clouds of water vapour.


What form does water take when it is in the air?

When water turns into a gaseous form, it is considered water vapor, when it is in a liquid form it is water, and when it is in a solid form it is ice.
