Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

In water one oxygen atom  is covalently bound with  two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound  having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.

alexdok [17]
The  H+   in  a  solution  that  has  a Ph  of  8.73   is   calculate    as  follows

Ph is always =   -  log  (H+)

H+  =    10^-Ph

H+  is  therefore  =  10 ^-  8.73
H+  =  1.86  x10^-9  M
