The boiling point of acetone is 56.05 degrees C (132.8 degrees F) at sea level. Like other liquids, this decreases as altitude increases. Acetone, also named propanone, is a colorless, flammable liquid.
Acetone has a boiling point of ~56C. Why does it evaporate at room temp (~20-25C) in seconds? Concentrated ethanol also exhibits this behavior, with a bp of ~80C. H2O obviously has a bp of 100C, and evaporates much slower. Is this just because room temp is closer to the bp of acetone/ethanol than H2O?
