Mike tests four solids A, B, C and D. He adds each solid to 10 cm3 of water. He measures the temperature of the water at the start.He then stirs the mixture and measures the temperature of the water again. Here is his results table.

Which solid gives the endothermic change?

• A

• B

• C

• D

The picture shows a container called a water cooler.

The container is made of clay. The water in the container soaks into the clay, making the outside wet. Water evaporates from the outside, cooling the container.

Explain how evaporation cools a liquid.
