<div align="justify"><strong><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Acetone</font></strong><br /><br /><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Acetone&nbsp;is the&nbsp;organic compound&nbsp;with the&nbsp;formula&nbsp;(CH3)2CO. This colorless, mobile, flammable liquid is the simplest example of the&nbsp;ketones. Owing to the fact that acetone is miscible with water it serves as an important&nbsp;solvent&nbsp;in its own right, typically as the solvent of choice for cleaning purposes in the laboratory. Familiar household uses of acetone are as the active ingredient in&nbsp;nail polish remover&nbsp;and as paint thinner and sanitary cleaner/nail polish remover base. It is a common building block in organic chemistry.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Acetone is used in a variety of general medical and cosmetic applications and is also listed as a component in food additives and food packaging. Acetone is a good solvent for most plastics and synthetic fibres including those used in laboratory bottles made of polystyrene, poly carbonate and some types of&nbsp;polypropylene. It is ideal for thinning fiberglass&nbsp;resin, cleaning fiberglass tools and dissolving two part epoxies and super glue before hardening. It is used as a volatile component of some&nbsp;paints and&nbsp;varnishes. As a heavy-duty degreaser, it is useful in the preparation of metal prior to painting; it also thins polyester resins,&nbsp;vinyl&nbsp;and adhesives. Acetone is used as a solvent by the pharmaceutical industry and as a denaturation agent in denatured alcohol.&nbsp;Acetone is also present as an&nbsp;excipient&nbsp;in some pharmaceutical products.</font><br /><ul><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Molecular formula: -C3H6O</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Molar mass: -58.08 g mol-1</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Appearance: -Colorless liquid (white snow-like form when solid)</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Density: -0.7925 g/cm3</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Melting point:- -94.9&nbsp;°C, 178&nbsp;K, -139&nbsp;°F</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Boiling point: -56.53&nbsp;°C, 330&nbsp;K, 134&nbsp;°F</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Solubility&nbsp;in&nbsp;water: -Miscible</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Acidity (pKa): -24.2</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Refractive Index: -1.35900 (20 °C)</font></li><li><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Viscosity: -0.3075 cP</font></li></ul></div>
