Evaporation is an
A.endothermic
B.exothermic
process, because when a substance evaporates it must
A. absorb
B. release
energy to(from) its surroundings.
And your thinking is ...? I don't do homework for students, but will be happy to critique. Does boiling water require heat, or does it release heat?
it requires heat so its endothermic and absorbs. am i correct?
so am i correct or not....?
Yes, you are correct.
Evaporation is an endothermic process. This means that it requires energy to occur. When a substance evaporates, such as water turning into vapor, it absorbs energy from its surroundings in order to overcome the forces of attraction between its particles. This energy is in the form of heat, which is why evaporation is often associated with cooling. So, the correct answer to the first part of the question is A. endothermic.
As for the second part of the question, when a substance evaporates, it must absorb energy from its surroundings. Therefore, the correct answer is A. absorb. Energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in a substance and allow its molecules to escape into the gaseous phase.
