Chapter 12, Problem 94IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of heat absorbed when 1.00g of instant car cooler vaporizes needs to be estimated and comments should be made on the effectiveness of the spray.

Concept introduction:

Molecules of a liquid with kinetic energies suitably above the average value can overcome intermolecular forces of attraction and can easily escape from the surface of the liquid into gaseous state. This passage of molecules from the surface of a liquid into the gaseous or vapor state is called vaporization or evaporation.
