Styrofoam peanuts are made of polystyrene, which will dissolve in acetone. The exact number of peanuts that will dissolve in acetone will depend on the volume of acetone used and the size of the peanuts. However, it is important to note that dissolving styrofoam in acetone can release toxic fumes, so it should be done in a well-ventilated area.

Acetone does not contain alcohol in the traditional sense, as it is a type of solvent rather than an alcoholic beverage. Chemically, acetone is a ketone with the formula C3H6O and does not have the hydroxyl (-OH) group characteristic of alcohols. Therefore, there is no alcohol content in pure acetone itself.
Chemically the difference is 1 carbon and 2 hydrogen atoms. Acetone ==> CH3-CHO-CH3 MEK (Butanone) ==> CH3-CHO-CH2-CH3 Their properties are therefore very similar because of this. MEK HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Acetone HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Acetone also happens to be much cheaper. As for uses, since acetone evaporates quicker it is often used as a paint thinner as it will not prolong the drying time as much as MEK would. Acetone is also a better solvent because looking at the structure of the molecule it has a more medium polarity than MEK, and thus dissolves a wider range of compounds.
Acetone is more reactive than alcohol. The reason for this, is because alcohol dries up extremely quickly, and it evaporates fast, so it doesn't have much time to react.

Yes, it can, just don't add too much acetone.

Get fresh air immediatly. Read or have someone else read the bottle for any instructions. If you don't have the container then you should call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 or call 911 and ask them.
The weight of acetone depends on the volume you are referring to. The density of acetone is approximately 0.79 grams per milliliter, so you would need to know the volume to calculate the weight.
If someone has inhaled a chemical agent, they should move to an area with fresh air immediately. If possible, remove any contaminated clothing and wash the affected skin with soap and water. Seek medical help right away, and provide information on the type of chemical agent and the duration of exposure.
If you buy something at a hardware or paint store labelled "acetone", it should also specify the purity, or perhaps the maximum impurity (something like "98% pure" or "< 0.5 % water") Acetone nail polish remover probably won't. It should have an ingredients list, but that only tells you what's in it, not how much. It's a good bet that the bottle labelled "acetone" is considerably more pure than a bottle labelled "nail polish remover", because most nail polish removers I've seen have significant quantities of other solvents (ethyl acetate, for example).

They are not hollow- they are filled with a spongy material that is saturated with liquid acetone. When the acetylene is pumped into the tank, it dissolves in the acetone, much like CO2 dissolving in a bottle of soda. If the tanks are laid on their sides, the acetone will be forced out into the hoses and torch. You will get a strange flame with a lot of excess carbon. Tanks that have been laid down should be stood up, and left in that position for at least an hour so that the acetone moves back towards the bottom of the spongy material.
The mixture of Polystyrene and Acetone results in the creation of a sticky residue as the Polystyrene beads dissolve into the Acetone. You can use Nail polish remover with Acetone. However, the chemical reaction occurs at a much more rapid pace with pure Acetone.
if you are a smoker of course you should stop. but until then have frequent trips to the docter and get tested for diffrent illnesses. from, michelle
