Question

Acetone gives more cooling effect to our palms as compared to water when both applied on palm why

Answer 1

as acetone absorbs heat faster than water. evaporation causes cooling and hence we feel cool when acetone is applied than instant cooling by water

Answer 2

Explanation:

Acetone is volatile in nature, therefore, when we apply it on our palms then it absorbs heat from the hand. As a result, it evaporates readily and provides a cooling effect to the hand.

Whereas water is less volatile and when we apply it on our hands it takes more time to evaporate as compared to acetone.
