A mouthwash is not a compound; it is a mixture of various compounds. There is water in all of them, and they commonly contain alcohol as well as essential oils (menthol, thymol, mint, etc.). Depending on the purpose of the mouthwash, it may contain an antibacterial, a detergent compound to loosen plaque before brushing, essential oils to freshen the user's breath, etc. If the mouthwash is intended to be used after brushing, it will have a pH slightly above 7, i.e., mildly alkaline but not so alkaline as to leave a bitter taste.
