Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone were asked which of the following explains how the body is cooled down while sweat evaporates. So it looks like we're talking about evaporation here and we know that evaporation is the conversion from a liquid to a gas. And since these molecules are absorbing heat, we know that evaporation is going to be endo thermic. So our answer here is going to be a evaporation is endo thermic. The heat required for the process is absorbed from the surroundings, which is the body. And we know that going from a liquid to a gas is in fact an end of thermic reaction. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
