Sagot :

The common uses of acetone is used as a cleaning agents like a nail Polish remover, and solvent. Formaldehyde is used in preserving organic materials like an animal specimen (preserving agent) and dis infectant.
 
acetone is commonly used as nail polish remover and as a solvent for some organic compound but in our school laboratory we also used this to dry pipettes and glass tubing, while formalin it is a common preservative in school laboratories and morgues, it can be used as antiseptic and disinfectant (but rarely used because of its undesirable odor)
