I-acetoneuketshezi olungenamibala nolwandle olunephunga eliqinile le-pungent. Kuluhlobo lwe-solvent ngefomula ye-CH3COCH3. Ingancibilikisa izinto eziningi futhi isetshenziswa kabanzi embonini, ezolimo kanye nocwaningo lwesayensi. Empilweni yansuku zonke, imvamisa isetshenziswa njenge-nail polish remover, upende omncane wokuhlanza kanye nokuhlanza.

Intengo ye-acetone iyathinteka yizici eziningi, phakathi kwezindleko zokukhiqiza zibaluleke kakhulu. Izinto zokusetshenziswa eziphambili zokukhiqizwa kwe-acetone ziyi-benzene, i-methanol nezinye izinto ezingavuthiwe, phakathi kwazo intengo ye-benzene ne-methanol iyindlela eguquguqukayo kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inqubo yokukhiqiza ye-Acetone nayo inomthelela othile ngentengo yayo. Njengamanje, indlela esemqoka yokukhiqiza i-acetone idlula i-oxidation, ukuncishiswa kanye nokuphendula. Ukusebenza kahle kwenqubo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla kuzothinta nentengo ye-acetone. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubudlelwane besidingo nobudlelwano buzokuthola buzothinta nentengo ye-Acetone. Uma isidingo siphezulu, intengo izovuka; Uma ukunikezwa kukhulu, intengo izowa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izinto ezifana nenqubomgomo nemvelo zizoba nomthelela othile ngentengo ye-Acetone.

Ngokuvamile, intengo ye-acetone iyathinteka ezicini eziningi, phakathi kwezindleko zokukhiqiza zibaluleke kakhulu. Ngentengo ephansi yamanje ye-Acetone, kungahle kube ngenxa yokuwa ngentengo yezinto ezisetshenziswayo ezifana ne-benzene ne-methanol, noma ngenxa yokwanda komthamo wokukhiqiza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungahle kuthintwe kwezinye izinto ezifana nenqubomgomo nemvelo. Isibonelo, uma uhulumeni ebeka amanani aphezulu e-acetone noma abeke imingcele yokuvikela imvelo ekukhiqizweni kwe-acetone, intengo ye-acetone ingavuka ngokufanele. Kodwa-ke, uma kukhona ushintsho kulezi zinto ngokuzayo, kungaba nomthelela ohlukile ngentengo ye-acetone.
