Solution

The correct option is C faster rate of evaporation
Earthen pots are used in summer. The pot has several pores through which water rinses out to the outer surface of the earthen pot and evaporates. In this process it takes away heat from the water inside the pitcher. As a result, the water inside gets cooled.

Q. Assertion :Water kept in an earthen pot becomes cooler during summers. Reason: Evaporates taking latent heat and removal of latent heat results on cooling. Earthen pots have small pores through which the water seeps and as evaporation leads to cooling of the substance.

Q. An earthen pitcher loses

1 gm

of water per minute due to evaporation. If the water equivalent of pitcher is

0.5 kg

and pitcher contains

9.5 kg

of water. Calculate the time required for the water in pitcher to cool to

28^{\circ} C

from original temperature of

30^{\circ} C

. Neglect radiation effects. Latent heat of vaporization in this range of temperature is

580 Cal/gm

and specific heat of water is

1 {Cal/gm}^{\circ} C
