acetone physical and chemical properties
acetone physical properties
Acetone, also known as dimethyl ketone, is called acetone in English, with the molecular formula CH3COCH3. It is a colorless, transparent, volatile liquid with a peculiar pungent odor.
Acetone is easily soluble in water and a variety of organic solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl ether, chloroform and pyridine. In addition, acetone is flammable and volatile, and its chemical properties are quite active.
acetone chemical properties
Chemically, acetone(CAS:67-64-1) displays active properties and is able to participate in a wide range of chemical reactions. It can combine with sodium bisulfite to produce a colorless crystalline adduct, and react with hydrogen cyanide to produce acetone cyanohydrin.
Under the action of reducing agents, acetone can be converted into isopropanol and pinacolone. In addition, acetone is relatively stable to oxidizing agents and is not oxidized by nitric acid at room temperature, but under the action of strong oxidizing agents such as acidic potassium permanganate, it will decompose into acetic acid, carbon dioxide and water.
Under the action of alkali, acetone can also undergo bimolecular condensation to produce bisacetone alcohol.
