What are phosphate molecules bonded to?
Phosphates are ionic compounds that contain the PO43- ion. (Common names for other ions containing phosphorus may also be loosely called phosphate)There are also phospahte groups in organic chemistry, these are "esters" of phosphoric acid H3PO4 formd when it reacts with alcohols or phenols.

The alcohols are organic equivalents of inorganic?
Alcohols can be considered organic equivalents of inorganic water. Alcohols can form hydrogen bonds with water and low weight alcohols are miscible in water.
What is the density of all alcohols together?
There are too many different alcohols for any question dealing with "all" alcohols to be answered. Also, the answer will depend on the relative quantities of the alcohols in the mixture.
