Only small amount of evaporation of water produces large cooling effects because of its___________________?
Correct answer: A. Large latent heat
- A. Large latent heat
- B. Low viscosity
- C. Small latent heat
- D. None of these
Explanation
Water absorbs a large amount of heat during vaporisation because its latent heat of vaporisation is high. Therefore, even a small quantity of evaporated water can produce substantial cooling.
