During a laboratory activity appropriate safety equipment was used and safety procedures were followed. In the activity, a student performed a controlled experiment designed to investigate the cooling effect of the evaporation of water. The student used three beakers. A paper towel was held in place over the top of each beaker as shown in the diagram below
Using a dropper, the student added room temperature water to one of the paper towels, added hot water to another paper towel, and left one paper towel dry. The surface temperature of the dry towel was measured at the start and 8 minutes later. The temperatures of the other two towels were measured when the water was added and 8 minutes later. The data for this activity are shown in the table below.
