| cf_standard_name | mole_fraction_of_acetone_in_air |
| description | Mole fraction is used in the construction "mole\_fraction\_of\_X\_in\_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox\_expressed\_as\_nitrogen". Acetone is an organic molecule with the chemical formula CH3CH3CO. The IUPAC name for acetone is propan-2-one. Acetone is a member of the group of organic compounds known as ketones. There are standard names for the ketone group as well as for some of the individual species. |
