1. Why does a desert cooler cool
better on a hot dry day?
2. How does the water kept in an
earthen pot (matka) become cool
during summer?
3. Why does our palm feel cold
when we put some acetone or
petrol or perfume on it?
Answers
Answer:
1. Evaporation depends on the amount of water vapour present in air (humidity). ... On a hot dry day, the amount of water vapour present in air is less. Thus, water present inside the desert cooler evaporates more, thereby cooling the surroundings more. That is why a desert cooler cools better on a hot dry day.
2. The water kept in an earthen pot seeps into the small pores in the pot and evaporates from the surface of the pot.
3. During evaporation, particles of the liquid absorb energy from the surface of the palm to compensate for the loss of energy, making the surroundings cool. The acetone, petrol or perfume take this latent heat of vaporisation from our palm. The palm loses heat and feels cold.

2. The process of evaporation is the conversion of liquid into a gaseous state. An earthen pot or a matka is porous in nature. Vaporisation is the process that takes place in every part of the environment. Similarly, the vaporisation that helps water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer.
