Not exactly.

If you are boiling water then the temperature of the water reaches boiling point and stays there despite the fact that you are still applying heat to the pan (thus heat is going somewhere but not into the water!).

What is happening is that the heat goes into the water vapour as it boils off / evaporates so it is not lost. This heat is called "latent heat".

You get this latent heat back when the water vapour re-condenses into water and this property of being able to move heat in vapour phases is how fridges and heat pumps work and is the source of energy for hurricanes.

Is body heat lost evaporation?

Body heat is not primarily lost through evaporation. It is typically lost through radiation, conduction, and convection. Evaporation can contribute to heat loss, but it is not the main mechanism in the human body.


What is lost during evaporation?

The liquid is evaporated.


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.


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 heat energy being added or removed during the process of evaporation?

In condensation heat is removed In evaporation heat is added


Is energy gained or lost during evaporation?

Energy is gained during evaporation because it requires heat energy to convert liquid water into water vapor. This heat energy breaks the intermolecular bonds in the liquid water molecules, allowing them to escape into the air as vapor.


During exercise which avenue of heat loss does the body rely upon most?

Evaporation


What is lost during the process of evaporation?

During the process of evaporation, liquid water is converted into water vapor, which is a gas. This means that the water loses its liquid state but its molecular composition remains unchanged. No molecules are lost during evaporation, only the physical state of the water changes.


Most evaporation occurs during what hours?

The most evaporation occurs at the highest heat and lowest pressure.


Is energy lost during evaporation?

No, energy is not lost during evaporation. Energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds and allow liquid water to turn into water vapor. This energy comes from the surrounding environment, causing a cooling effect.


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 should be the effect if some liquids are lost during evaporation due to spattering?

If some liquids are lost during evaporation due to spattering, the overall volume of the remaining liquid will decrease more rapidly than expected. This can lead to a higher concentration of solutes in the remaining liquid, potentially affecting the properties of the solution, such as its boiling point and reactivity. Additionally, spattering may disrupt the evaporation process, reducing efficiency and altering heat transfer dynamics.
