At room temperature, it is a colorless transparent liquid, volatile, flammable, and fragrant. It is miscible with water, methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform and pyridine, can dissolve oil, fat, resin and rubber, and can also dissolve cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate, and is an important volatile organic solvent. The initiator of the London bombing: acetone and concentrated hydrogen peroxide at low temperature synthesis of TATP is a kind of high explosive, friction can explode, does not produce fire, the explosion principle is to instantly produce a lot of gas. Disguised as explosive is regulated by most governments. It's also used to dissolve drugs. Acetone can dissolve acetylene, and one volume of acetone can dissolve many volumes of acetylene, and the amount of dissolution increases with the increase of pressure (see Henry's Law).
