how can you show that evaporation causes cooling
Answers
Answer:
evaporation causes cooling effect because the heat energy is abosorbed by surrounding particles. When evaporation occurs then than the liquid (mostly water) absorbs all the heat from the surroundings and take it with it and we feel cool
Explanation:
Evaporation causes cooling naturally. The underlying principle behind this is, in order to change its state, the matter must either gain or lose energy. In the case of change of phase from liquid to gas, molecules of matter require energy to overcome their potential energy by their kinetic energy. So, the liquid takes this energy from its surroundings.
Generally, when energy transfer occurs, it results in an increase or decrease in temperature of the substance, depending on whether the energy is being transferred from the substance to the surroundings or vice versa. However, there are exceptions to this rule.
Although there is an increase in temperature of the substance till the boiling point is attained during evaporation, phase change results in no observable heat transfer.
The molecules of the substance absorb heat energy continuously from the surroundings and thus cool the surroundings till they reach the boiling point, after which they start to break free from the liquid and turn into vapor. Since there is no change in temperature till the evaporation process is complete i.e. the entire liquid gets converted into vapor, the amount of energy required for this phase change is called the latent heat of vaporization, where the word ‘latent’ means ‘hidden’, meaning this heat will not change the temperature reading on a thermometer.
Answer:
yes evaporation cause cooling
Explanation:
for example when we wear cotton clothes in summer and when we get sweat , then after a short period of we fell cool due to evaporation
