Hello! I need for my chemistry project in my highschool acetone. The thing is that I don`t know much about it. I acquired some industry acetone since the only "acetone" you can find in shops in my country is the nail polish version. I have the acetone stored in a plastic bottle. My question is in what should I store it? In the plastic bottle from what I`ve seen ,it seems that the pressure is rising all the time,after I used ~10 ml from 2 L the bottle was filled up again [or something like that] and the bottle was very hard. Can you please give me an advice?

Thank you!

Do you live in a warm country?
The acetone may be evaporating causing a pressure build-up in the bottle.
Either vent the pressure or put the bottle in the fridge.

Here's an older thread on a similar subject:  http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=62671.msg225430#msg225430  Briefly, you store it in the bottle it came in until you're done using it.  You don't purchase/acquire 2 liters of anything you don't need 1.5 to 1.8 liters of.  That way, you don't have to worry about storage.

So if the bottle I`m holding it in is already a little pressurized and I put it in the fridge,not freezer, it would depressurize? And yes I`m living in a "warm" country its spring with about 7-10 degrees C outside

Thank you!

No it won't depressurise by putting it in the fridge but it will slow any pressure build-up significantly.

Unless you have a spark free fridge designed for the storage of flammable solvents DO NOT put a bottle of acetone into a standard fridge. 
There are hundreds of instances in which people have blown up standard fridges by doing things like this.

Ok. I will look and see if my fridge is park free...but if it isn`t ...where could  I store it?

Thank you!
