 Name: Acetone; Propanone
 Type of compound: Organic
 Classification: Ketone
 Chemical Formula: C3H6O
 Boiling point: 56oC
 Melting Point: -99oC
 Molar mass: 58.08g/ml
 Solubility: 6.0g/100ml
Non-toxic at relatively low concentrations such as 5mg/L, but can cause eye irritation when exposed for too long to in an enclosed area.
