Open in App
Solution

  1. Liquid requires energy to evaporate. During this phase-changing process, liquid utilizes the latent heat of evaporation.
  2. During evaporation, energy(heat) from the surroundings is used up for this purpose.
  3. Thus the heat content is reduced, which produces a cooling effect.
