A can of paint solvent that is found at the scene of an arson attempt is believed by a forensic laboratory to be either a mixture of hydrocarbons or acetone {(CH3)2C=O }. An IR spectrum for a sample of this solvent is found to show no appreciable absorbance in the region of 1700 cm-1. Of the given possibilities, what is the most likely identity for this paint solvent?
