Question

people of village use earthen pots to get cool water in summer. Explain the reason why water remains cool in earthen pots

Answer 1

Heya


People of village use earthen pots to get cool water in summer because:


[] Earthen pots have many holes in them and by that water keeps on seeping from it.

[] As it gets exposed to the outer air, it undergoes evaporation.

[] And for evaporation process we need latent heat of vaporization you know! So, the heat from the remaining water inside the pot is used as latent heat of vaporization.

[] That's how water remains cool in earthen pots!!

Water looses its temperature through small pores present in the pot. Hence in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer.
