2-propanone water miscibility

The lower members of aldehydes and ketones such as methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportions, because they form hydrogen bond with water. 

Acetone (dimethyl ketone, 2-propanone, CH3COCH3, melting point -94.6°C, boiling point 56.3°C, density 0.783) is the simplest ketone and is a colorless liquid that is miscible in all proportions with water, alcohol, or ether. 

Propanone (acetone), the simplest ketone, is an important and versatile solvent for organic compounds. It has the ability to dissolve organic compounds and is also miscible with water. As a result, it has a number of industrial applications and is used as a solvent in adhesives, paints, cleaning solvents, nail polish, and nail polish remover. Propanone is flammable and should therefore be treated with appropriate care. Butanone, a four-carbon ketone, is also an important industrial solvent.
