It is not cooler, it feels cooler because acetone is far more volatile than water, so it absorbs more heat from your skin when you feel it evaporating from the skin (using it as nail polish remover)

Is acetone thicker than water?
No, acetone is about the same viscosity as water.
Why does acetone evaporate so fast?
Acetone evaporates faster than alcohol and water because alcohol and water contain intermolecular hydrogen bonding but acetone does not. This is the reason alcohol and water have higher boiling point than acetone and evaporate slower than it.
Why does acetone dissolve in water?
Acetone will float in water because it has a lower density than water. A few other liquids which will float on water are: ethanol, ether, methylated spirits and olive oil. Some that will sink in water are: chloroform and mercury.
Is the vapor pressure of water and acetone different?
The three liquids have different densities. Water has a density of 1g/mL. Acetone has a density of 0.791g/mL. Ethanol has the density of 0.789g/mL. Also, ethanol has the strong smell that resembles one of nail polish remover. Ethanol is used in alcohol. Acetone is practically a type of acid.
Why do water droplets form on a lid when boiling water?
The lid is cooler than the steam (water vapor) produced by boiling the water. When the water vapor contacts that cooler surface, it condenses into liquid water.
Is acetone thicker than water?
No, acetone is about the same viscosity as water.
Why does acetone have a lower surface tension than water?
water is more polar than acetone
Does caffeine dissolve in acetone?
Caffeine is soluble in water - but not HIGHLY soluble. You can dissolve a lot more caffeine in the same volume of water compared to what will dissolve in an equal volume of acetone. It dissolves better in hot acetone than in cold acetone.
Why did water dried up first than acetone and alcohol?
water has a lower vapor pressure than alcohol or acetone, so it requires more heat energy to cause it to evaporate.
Why does acetone evaporate so fast?
Acetone evaporates faster than alcohol and water because alcohol and water contain intermolecular hydrogen bonding but acetone does not. This is the reason alcohol and water have higher boiling point than acetone and evaporate slower than it.
Why does water cause cooling?
Because the water is cooler the hot touch that you have causes the water to be cooler than what is is actually.
Why does acetone dissolve in water?

Is acetone a water soluble liquid?
Acetone and water are miscible liquids.
What happens during the day of the beach?
The water is cooler than the land and air sinks over the water
Why water at 0C cooler than water at room temperature?
Because 0 oC is a lower value (cooler) than 20 oC - 25 oC (room temperature)

Why acetone lowers the boiling point of water whereas salt and sugar raise the boiling point and lower the melting point?
Acetone is a liquid with a boiling point lower than that of water; the other two are solids.
