:

Acetone

Description:
Acetone, with the CAS number 67-64-1, is a colorless, volatile liquid that is widely recognized as a solvent in various industrial and laboratory applications. It has a characteristic sweet, fruity odor and is highly flammable. Acetone is the simplest ketone, featuring a carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by two methyl groups (CH3). Its molecular formula is C3H6O, and it has a relatively low boiling point, making it useful for processes requiring rapid evaporation. Acetone is miscible with water, ethanol, and many organic solvents, which enhances its utility in dissolving a wide range of substances. It is commonly used in nail polish removers, paint thinners, and as a cleaning agent. Additionally, acetone is produced naturally in small amounts in the human body during metabolism. While generally regarded as safe in controlled environments, exposure to high concentrations can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Proper safety measures should be taken when handling this chemical due to its flammable nature and potential health effects.
