Acetone SDS MSDS Sheet of Manufacturers

Acetone (systematically named propanone) is the organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CO. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid, and is the simplest and smallest ketone. Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important solvent in its own right, typically for cleaning purposes in laboratories. Familiar household uses of acetone are as the active ingredient in nail polish remover, and as paint thinner.

C3H6O --- 58.08 --- CAS 67-64-1

DEFINITION
Propanone.

CHARACTERS
Appearance: Volatile, clear, colourless liquid.
Solubility: Miscible with water and with ethanol (96 per cent). The vapour is flammable.

IDENTIFICATION
A. It complies with the test for relative density (see Tests).
B. To 1 ml, add 3 ml of dilute sodium hydroxide solution and 0.3 ml of a 25 g/l solution of sodium nitroprusside. An intense red colour is produced which becomes violet with the addition of 3.5 ml of acetic acid.
C. To 10 ml of a 0.1 per cent V/V solution of the substance to be examined in ethanol (50 per cent V/V), add 1 ml of a 10 g/l solution of nitrobenzaldehyde in ethanol (50 per cent V/V) and 0.5 ml of strong sodium hydroxide solution. Allow to stand for about 2 min and acidify with acetic acid. A greenish-blue colour is produced.

TESTS
Appearance of solution: To 10 ml add 10 ml of water. The solution is clear and colourless.
Acidity or alkalinity: To 5 ml add 5 ml of carbon dioxide-free water, 0.15 ml of phenolphthalein solution and 0.5 ml of 0.01 M sodium hydroxide. The solution is pink. Add 0.7 ml of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid and 0.05 ml of methyl red solution. The solution is red or orange.
Relative density: 0.790 to 0.793.
Reducing substances: To 30 ml add 0.1 ml of 0.02 M potassium permanganate and allow to stand in the dark for 2 h. The mixture is not completely decolourised.
Related substances: Gas chromatography. To pass the test (0.05 per cent V/V).
Matter insoluble in water: Dilute 1.0 ml to 20 ml with water. The solution is clear.
Residue on evaporation: Maximum 50 ppm.
Water: Maximum 3 g/l, determined on 10.0 ml. Use 20 ml of anhydrous pyridine as solvent.

STORAGE
Protected from light.

IMPURITIES
Specified impurities A, B, C.
A. CH3-OH: methanol,
B. CH3-CHOH-CH3: propan-2-ol (isopropanol),
C. C6H6: benzene.

Acetone CAS 67-64-1

Acetone contains not less than 99.0 percent of C3H6O, calculated on the anhydrous basis.
[Caution—Acetone is very flammable. Do not use where it may be ignited. ]

Identification: The IR absorption spectrum of a thin film of it between potassium bromide plates exhibits a strong band at about 5.8 µm; a strong region of absorption between 6.8 and 7.5 µm, with maxima at about 7.0 and 7.3 µm; a strong maximum at about 8.2 µm; and weak maxima at about 9.2 and 11.0 µm.
Specific gravity: not more than 0.789.
Water: To pass the test (0.5%).
Nonvolatile residue: Evaporate 50 mL in a tared porcelain dish on a steam bath, and dry at 105C for 1 hour: the weight of the residue does not exceed 2 mg (0.004%).
Readily oxidizable substances: Mix 20 mL with 0.10 mL of 0.10 N potassium permanganate in a glass-stoppered bottle: the permanganate color of the mixture does not completely disappear within 15 minutes.

They who love thee on this earth, keep calling on thee and chanting thy beads
Lest thou forgetest.

They assign the credit of their hard work to your blessings
They keep you amused.

They come to thy temple with baskets of fruits, as if you were a glutton
They deny the same to their children.

They offer you milk for a bath and burn the ghee
They hardly understand the meaning of it.

They bring gold and diamonds. They come with beating of drums
They love to advertise their offerings.

They offer you a small bribe as advance for booty, called lottery
They love to dream.

I do not bow down at your door
I do not bargain for booty
Your promise of the heaven does not lure me
Your hell-fire does not scare me
I do not even know the proper method of prayer
I do not offer any thing to you
Ages have gone by and I have not seen you my lord
Yet my love for you keeps waiting for you
