ACETONE

Acetone (C₃H₆O) is a widely used solvent in laboratories due to its low boiling point (56°C) and high volatility, allowing for rapid evaporation. It effectively dissolves a range of organic compounds, including resins and polymers, making it ideal for various applications. Acetone is also a common cleaning agent for lab equipment. Despite its usefulness, acetone is highly flammable and can cause irritation, necessitating proper storage and handling. Its versatility, efficiency, and affordability make acetone an essential component in many laboratory procedures.
