Every living, breathing thing needs energy. Some non-living things need energy too. Like, batteries, lightbulbs, etc. Evaporation needs energy to do its work, which is water EVAPORATING into thin air, becoming a cloud, (condensation), etc. That's your answer.

When sweating the human body has to transport water to the sweat glands in the skin and these glands need to actively secrete water. This takes energy to achieve.

Does evaporation require heating?

No. But it does require a transfer of heat energy. So the evaporation of sweat cools you.


Is energy released or required for evaporation?

require.


Is evaporation the same as boiling?

they are both vaporization process, but evaporation occur on the surface and boiling occur by forming completed bubbles from the bottom.


During which process does water gain the most heat energy?

Evaporation because it requires 2,260 Joules to gain heat energy. Condensation, freezing, and melting require less Joules than evaporation.


Does evaporation release energy?

When vapours condense energy is released (the latent heat). Boilers designed for central heating can be made to give up this heat rather than throw it out with the flue gases as older units do.


Why does evaporation require that heat energy be added to a substance?

Heat is energy the substance needs to change it's state of matter (the more energy a substance has the higher it's temperature)


Is evaporation of water release of energy?
