Heat is absorbed by the molecules leaving the place the evaporation is occuring. That is why, after putting aftershave or cologne, you feel cold. The alcohol in the aftershave/cologne has evaporated and taken the heat from your face with it.

How evaporation exhibit the cooling effect?

Evaporation needs heat energy. During the process of evaporation heat is absorbed by the other body thereby cooling it


Is energy absorbed during evaporation?

Yes, energy is absorbed during evaporation. This energy is required to break the bonds between liquid molecules and change them into vapor molecules. This process is endothermic because it absorbs heat from the surroundings.


What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?

the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).


What is the term that refers to the energy that is stored or released during a change of state of water?

The term is latent heat. It refers to the energy absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change, such as when water changes from a solid to a liquid (melting) or from a liquid to a gas (evaporation).


Does condensation lose energy?

Condensation releases latent heat energy as water vapor transitions into liquid water. This energy is absorbed during evaporation and released during condensation, helping to maintain the earth's energy balance.


Does heat energy release during evaporation?

Absorbs heat. Think of a spray can: as you spray the can feels cold. this is because heat is absorbed by the liquid that is evaporating in the spray can to drive out what is being sprayed.


How does evaporation of moisture from your skin help you comfortable on a hot day?

For the evaporation,heat is absorbed from body.So heat is lost from body.So we feel comfortable.


What is thermochemical analysis?

This is the study of heat released/absorbed during chemical reactions.


How do you know if the heat is absorbed or released?

Boiling does require the liquid to be absorbing heat--large amounts at the point of transition from liquid to gas. Obviously, in the real world, some of this heat is being released simultaneously, but more must be absorbed than is released for boiling to continue.


Is heat released to the environment or taken up from the environment during evaporation?

Heat comes from one source, the sun.


Is heat a form of energy released during a chemical reaction?

Yes, heat is often released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. This is because chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds, and the energy difference between these bonds is released or absorbed in the form of heat.


What is the difference between the heat of reaction and the heat of combustion?

The heat of reaction is the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction, while the heat of combustion specifically refers to the heat released during the combustion of a substance with oxygen.
