Solution

If acetone is pit on your hand you will feel cool

The reason behind cooling is latent heat
(the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapour, or a liquid into a vapour, without change of temperature)
When you put acetone on your hand it starts to evaporate(boiling point of acetone is 56 celcius) by taking latent heat energy from your hand.
