Acetonitrile
Industrial Applications
Acetonitrile is a colorless, toxic organic solvent widely used in manufacturing and industrial settings. It functions as a degreasing and polishing agent, and is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, photographic films, cosmetics, and pesticides. Its high polarity and chemical stability make it suitable for specialized processes and solvent applications.
Physical Properties
Acetonitrile is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic mild ether-like odor. It is fully miscible with water and many organic solvents, has a low viscosity, and a boiling point of approximately 81.6 °C. Acetonitrile is chemically stable under standard conditions but is toxic and flammable, requiring careful handling in industrial and laboratory environments.
