Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaporation is a cooling process because it requires energy to break the bonds between molecules and this energy is taken from the surroundings, causing a decrease in temperature. On the other hand, condensation is a warming process because it releases the latent heat of vaporization that was absorbed during evaporation. This heat is released to the surroundings, causing an increase in temperature. Therefore, the correct answer is A) a warming process.
