When a person has a severe fever, one therapy to reduce the fever is an “alcohol rub." Explain how the evaporation of alcohol from the person‘s skin removes heat energy from the body.
Interpretation:
How evaporation of alcohol helps in lowering body temperature must be explained with reason?
Concept Introduction:
Evaporation is an endothermic processes.
Alcohols are volatile and thus if a body is rubbed with alcohol then alcohol vaporizes. This is a thermodynamic endothermic process...
