Does the food cool when a vapor turns to a liquid or vice versa in a refrigerator.
Answer to Problem 19A
Yes. The food cools when liquid turns in to vapor in a refrigerator.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When vapor turns to liquid heat is released and when liquid turns into vapor heat is absorbed.
In refrigerator when liquid turned into vapor it absorbs heat energy from the food kept inside it. As a result, the food loses heat energy and cools.
Conclusion:
The food cools when liquid turns in to vapor in a refrigerator.
