Why does evaporation have a cooling effect?
In order for liquid to evaporate, potential energy should first be acquired to be able to transform to gas. This energy will be stored as heat. Heat will not cause temperature to increase and this is known as latent heat. Boiling of water puts potential energy into it. Once it boils, the water evaporates into the air and also takes heat from the surroundings. This is what causes the cooling effect of evaporation.
Which property of water accounts for the cooling effect of perspiration?
The latent heat of evaporation.
The cooling effect of perspiration as it evaporates from the skin is the result of high of water?
Enthalpy of vaporization
What water as ice has a cooling effect whereas water as steam may cause severe burns explain these observations?
This depends on the temperature.
Water as ice has cooling effect whereas water as steam causes severe burnsExplain these observations?
Because a great difference of temperatures exist !
If you are standing on a wet floor and when the water evaporates it produces a cooling effect How does the kinetic theory explain the cooling effect?
When water evaporates, it draws a lot of energy called latent heat of vapourization. It is this demand for energy from evaporating water that causes a cooling effect as it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.
Why does a liquid cool down when its evaporating?
because when it evaporates it takes all the heat in the surroundings with it leaving a cooling effect on the surroundings around it.
Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?
Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.
How is evaporation used for energy transfer?
In order to evaporate, energy has to be added to the system, so there will be energy transfer from the surroundings into the material being evaporated, with the effect of cooling the surroundings.
Is evaporation endothermic or endothermic?
Always endothermic. Liquids absorb heat from the surroundings through evaporation, and keeps continuing this to regain lost energy. This produces a cooling effect in the surroundings.
Water as ice has a cooling effect?
Yes, it is true.

Why sweating helps cool the human body?
sweating is a cooling mechanism because the droplets of sweat on our body absorbs the heat from our body and it evaporates.
Why evaporating of water cause cooling?
a fall in the temperature of the liquids known as the cooling effect ,accompanies evaporation
Why do be people sprinkle water on the roof or open ground?
When people sprinkle water on hot and dry roof on a sunny day, that water evaporates by taking energy from the ground, roof and surroundings. The evaporation of water causes a cooling effect because the large latent heat of vaporization of water helps to cool the hot surface.
Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?
This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.
