Answer:

Higher heat of evaporation required to break hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Water molecules are joined together by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Evaporation of liquid water into water vapor requires extra energy to break these hydrogen bonds to separate the water molecules from each other.

Since a higher heat of evaporation is required, the water molecules absorb the heat from the skin surface or leaf surfaces during perspiration and transpiration respectively. This leaves the cooler skin and leaf surfaces behind. Therefore, the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the need for extra energy to evaporation water allow it to exhibit a cooling effect.

What dog breeds are good for squirrel chasing?​
Alinara [238K]

Hello, I'm Eric. I'll be trying my best to assist you on your question today.

Most hyper dogs are the ones that usually chase dogs, such as puppys etc. But here are some dogs I know that will chase them.

  • <u>Beagle </u>
  • <u>Mountain Cur </u>

<u />

Let me tell you about the Mountain Cur. The Mountain Cur is a dog that will chase any small animal, literally like a racoon or anything. It takes time to train them, you'd need to be really protective when letting them off a leach.

Not the right answer or confused? Reply to this question for help. If not, if you have time please hit the thanks. If you think this can help others you can always hit the Brainlist button, none of the things above are needed. :)

Take care, Eric
