Question

Name the process associated with the following observation:
An acetone bottle is left open and the bottle becomes empty.

Answer 1

Hint: Acetone is a colourless, volatile, flammable organic solvent ketone having chemical formula of $ {C_3}{H_6}O $ the IUPAC name of the acetone is Propan $ - 2 - $ one as having the longest chain of three carbons and ketone group at the second position.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We start with the process associated:
Due to the volatile nature of the acetone, when the bottle is kept left in open the bottle becomes empty, due to the vaporisation and diffusion of the acetone.
Volatile nature means that any compound having the property to vaporise in the normal temperature and pressure.
-Vaporisation: The change of state from liquid to gas is called vaporisation.
-Diffusion: Diffusion is a process in which the movement of particles is from the higher concentration to the lower concentration of the particle.

Additional information:
Some points about the diffusion:
The diffusion only occurs in liquids and gases because of their low force of attraction, they can freely move. The movement of nutrients and substances in the living cells are due to the diffusion.
Now talking about volatility:
Volatile nature of any compound is shown when they are having high vapour pressure and high vapour pressure relates with the low boiling point and low solubility in the water.
The few compounds having the volatile properties:
Benzene, ethylene glycol, toluene, xylene, acetic acid, butanal, alcohols etc are some examples of the volatile compounds.

Note:
The compounds having volatile nature are having the capability to vaporise themselves at normal temperature. So, they are always kept in an air-tight container to prevent the vaporisation and diffusion of the compound.
