How do i get it or where do i get it? i need to use it to make an extract with a chlorophyll solution, so i can measure the optical density of the extract with a spectrophotometer...
Yes acetone evaporates extremely fast, and yes you can mix it with water. You can also just dump it down the sink since there are no real environmental regulations against doing so.klusener said:k, if i get that, would i dilute it with water? Pardon my complete ignorance on this subject... but one of my friends said that pure acetone evaporates very quickly, but i guess my main question is if after i manage to get the pure acetone, to bring it down to 85%, i need to dilute it with water...
To obtain 85% acetone, you can either purchase a solution of 85% acetone from a chemical supplier or create a solution by diluting a higher concentration of acetone with water.
85% acetone is commonly used as a solvent in laboratory experiments. It can dissolve a wide range of substances and is often used to clean and prepare surfaces for various chemical reactions.
The concentration of acetone in a solution can be determined using various techniques, such as titration or spectrophotometry. It is important to accurately measure the concentration to ensure the desired percentage of acetone is obtained.
Yes, acetone is a flammable and volatile chemical, so it is important to handle it with caution. Wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling the fumes.
No, acetone should be stored in a container made of a material that is compatible with it, such as glass or certain types of plastic. Avoid using metal containers, as acetone can react with certain metals and cause a fire hazard.
