Acetone LR (C3H6O)

Acetone LR (Laboratory Reagent grade) is a highly pure organic solvent with the chemical formula C3H6O and molecular weight 58.08 g/mol. It appears as a clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It is completely miscible with water and most organic solvents. It is highly flammable and evaporates quickly under normal conditions.
In terms of uses and applications, Acetone LR is widely used in laboratory and analytical work due to its high purity and consistent quality. It is commonly used as a cleaning and degreasing agent for glassware, instruments, and surfaces. In chemical analysis, it serves as a solvent for sample preparation, extraction, and chromatography applications. It is also used in pharmaceutical and research laboratories for synthesis and purification processes. Additionally, it finds application in cosmetics, coatings, and industrial cleaning where a fast-evaporating, high-purity solvent is required.
