Solution:
The above statement is true.Evaporation is when a liquid changes into its vapours even below its boiling point. During evaporation, the latent heat of vaporisation is taken by the atmosphere. During evaporation, the liquid particles having high kinetic energy leave the surface of the liquid and get converted into vapours. Thus, the average kinetic energy of the remaining particles in the liquid increases, and the temperature falls. So, when a liquid evaporates, it takes the latent heat of vaporisation from anything it touches. When we place a liquid, say water, in a vessel in an open area, it continuously separates by taking heat energy from the surrounding. Thus, the absorption of energy from the surroundings makes the surroundings cool.
