Chemical properties
of 1. acetone
acetone is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O and a molecular weight of 58.08g/mol. Acetone is colorless, transparent, volatile, soluble in water, ethanol, ether, benzene and other organic solvents. Acetone is liquid at room temperature and evaporates at high temperature. Acetone is an active ketone compound, which can react with oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and other atoms or molecules.

2. the role of acetone

acetone is an important solvent that can be used to dissolve or separate a variety of organic substances. Other effects are as follows:

1. Bleach. Acetone can remove the color of certain substances, such as bleaching the yellowing aldehydes of the grasslands to white.

2. metal surface treatment agent. Acetone can remove oil and soot from the metal surface and keep the surface clean.

3. Organic synthesis. Acetone can be used as an important raw material for the preparation of aldehydes, acids, esters and other organic compounds. For example, acetone can react with formaldehyde to form methanol and acetic acid.

4. Disinfectant. Acetone inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses and can be used for cleaning and disinfection.

3. the application
of acetone
acetone is widely used in chemical industry, medicine, food, cosmetics and other fields. The main applications are as follows:

1. Chemical industry. Acetone is widely used as solvent, raw material and catalyst. It plays an important role in synthetic rubber, plastics, resins, dyes, pigments, etc.

2. Medicine. Acetone can be used as a raw material for anesthetics, carbohydrate metabolites, and glycogen precipitation reagents. Acetone in the mask to enable space belongs to the activated carbon has the role of adsorption bacteria. The medical ketone body detection agent can be used as a detection reagent for diketones to develop long-life inhibitors such as MK-801. Acetone can promote the synthesis and metabolism of ketone bodies in the body, and is often used in the treatment and prevention of liver dysfunction, nervous system diseases, diabetes, etc.

3. Food. Acetone is widely used as a food additive. For example, a short-chain ketone body is produced in meat, which affects the flavor of the meat. Acetone can avoid this effect.
