Which of the following can be used as a solvent for cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, and celluloide?

chemistry aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids uses of aldehydes and ketones organic compounds with functional group containing oxygen (part-2) carbonyl compounds

  1. Formaldehyde

  2. Acetaldehyde

  3. Acetic acid

  4. Acetone

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Acetone is most used industrial solvent, for many synthetic fibers. It is good solvent for synthetic fibres as it is denaturant and it reduces explosive reactions.
