Understanding Acetone and Styrofoam Interaction

What happens to styrofoam when it is placed in acetone?

• It defoams as air escapes.

• It becomes more rigid.

• It melts completely.

• It changes color.

Which of the following statements about acetone is true?

• Acetone is a non-polar solvent.

• Acetone has a lower dipole moment than water.

• Acetone does not mix with water.

• Acetone is a polar liquid.

Why is acetone considered a polar solvent?

• It does not interact with other substances.

• It is made of non-polar molecules.

• It has a high dipole moment and mixes with water.

• It evaporates quickly.

What is the role of pi systems in the interaction between acetone and styrofoam?

• They cause styrofoam to dissolve completely.

• They allow acetone to slide between styrofoam strands.

• They make styrofoam more rigid.

• They prevent acetone from mixing with styrofoam.

What is a potential use of the acetone and styrofoam interaction mentioned in the video?

• Producing biodegradable plastics.

• Creating industrial adhesives.

• Developing new cleaning agents.

• Making fridge magnets at home.
