∙ 14y agoAcetone (correct name, propanone) is the simplest of the ketones, it is comprised of 2 methyl groups (CH3) connected by a carbonyl group (carbon bound to oxygen by a double bond). Acetone has the formula CH3COCH3. CO2 is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide, a colourless asphyxiant gas.

It can be used as a powerful solvent for cleaning beakers, desks etc.
It can have dry ice added to it in order to cool a reaction down to approx -70 degrees centigrade.
It can be used as a solvent in some synthesis or as a reagent its self.

What is marker ink made out of?
The ink of a marker used to be made of toluene and xylene. These substances were found to be quite harmful so now the ink is usually made out of alcohols such as 1-propanol, 1-butanol, diacetone alcohol and cresois.
What chemical removes sharpie stains?
Latex rubber in the eraser, steel in the clip that holds the eraser on, dyes and epoxy in the paints, adhesives in the glue that holds the two wood halves together, graphite and clay in the "pencil lead". Colored pencils can use dyed wax in the central "lead".
Why does isopropyl alcohol work to remove sharpie stains?
isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the types of molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
Can rubbing alcohol take out permanent marker?

WHY does alcohol remove permanent marker?
Isopropyl is in alcohol. which makes it dissolve. also alcohol dissolves both polar and non-polar substances , and permanent marker is non-polar. which means that it share electrons equally. I hope this helped ;) Further explaination: isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. Most alcohol molecules contain hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal.

Can you get cancer if you draw on your hand?
Most ink in ballpoint pens is nontoxic however bottled ink may contain carcinogenic solvents such as xylene. Permanent markers often contain industrial solvents such as n-butanol, cresol and diacetone alcohol which can cause damage to DNA, kidneys, liver and brain tissue if they come in contact with the skin and subsequently enter the bloodstream. So yes through extended contact with xylene based inks you could develop cancer.

Is sharpie bad for your skin?
They are not bad for the epidermis, unless you were to color the area of skin over and over and over. Even if this were to be the case, you're most likely looking at a bad case of dermatitis, but nothing too threatening. In point of fact of this, it takes upwards of a liquid ounce of the fluid to case any type of reaction at all unless you happen to be allergic to propanol, butanol, diacetone, or cresol based alcohols, which are a main ingredient in the marker. The last three are especially noteworthy in that they are industrial grade solvents. You DO NOT want to use King Sized or more industrial intended markers as these mainly contain xylene and cresol, which are quite bad for you in conjunction, but the xylene more so than the other. And lastly, not that it needs to be stated I think, but you NEVER use this ink for tattooing purposes outright!
What is C6H1202?
Normally, C6H12O6 is the formula for glucose, a type of sugar. However, a number of other sugars have the same formula eg fructose, galactose. All of these sugars are simple sugars or monosaccharides. They have the same formula but the atoms are arranged differently in the different molecules. This is called isomerism, and the sugars are called isomers of each other. Sugars like these which have 6 carbon atoms are called hexose sugars. For diagrams of these sugars see: http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates.html
