Which of the following describes evaporation?
Correct answer: B. Endothermic process
- A. Non-spontaneous reaction
- B. Endothermic process
- C. Exothermic process
- D. Isothermic process
Explanation
Endothermic processes are the ones that absorb heat from the surroundings. As evaporation is a cooling process and absorbs heat energy from surroundings, it is an endothermic process.The table below presents a list of differences between Exothermic and Endothermic processes, where Evaporation classifies as an Endothermic Process.

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
