Solution

Since we know that, the more the latent heat of evaporation of a liquid, the more cooling effect it produces.

The liquid B will produce more cooling effect because it has a higher latent heat of vapourization as compared to liquid A.

Therefore, the liquid B will absorb more heat and produce a more cooling effect than the liquid A.

Why is cooling produced on evaporation of a liquid?

Why is the latent heat of fusion of ice i.e 3.34×10⁵J/kg less than the latent heat of vapourisation i.e 22.5×10⁵J/kg? Particles of solids are more tightly packed than liquids so literally the should require more energy for separation than liquids.
