Which of the following is true regarding the evaporation of water?
A) The phase change involves the latent heat of sublimation.
B) The phase change involves the latent heat of evaporation.
C) The phase change involves the latent heat of deposition.
D) The phase change involves the sensible heat of vaporization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas, and involves the absorption of heat from the surroundings. This heat is called latent heat of evaporation, which is the energy required to break the intermolecular bonds of water molecules in the liquid state and convert them into gaseous state. Therefore, the correct option is B, latent heat of evaporation.
