Chapter 7, Problem 151SAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Water is kept in the clay pot at $25{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ and it is placed in the shade at $30{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$. Whether the temperature of the water present inside the clay pot increases, decreases and remains the same needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The clay is porous and allows moisture to go through pores to the outside. These water molecules are going to evaporate and the heat of water molecules are going to absorb to supply energy to evaporate and to supply kinetic energy.
