Many mammals control their body temperature by sweating. Which property of water is most directly responsible for the ability of sweat to lower body temperature?a) waterʹs change in density when it condenses b) waterʹs ability to dissolve molecules in the airc) the release of heat by the formation of hydrogen bonds d) the absorption of heat by the breaking of hydrogen bondse) waterʹs high surface tension

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. the absorption of heat by the breaking of hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are weak inter molecular bond between hydrogen molecules, which can be easily separated by low heat. The water molecule with formular [tex]H_{2\\[/tex]O bonds forming chains of water molecules which are connected with this weak hydrogen bond.

The water moves from one state to another like from liquid to gas by absorbing heat, separating its chained to give steam of single water molecules.

When the body overheats, it tries to regulate its temperature by secreting sweat (which contains water) through the sweat pore. the water absorbs the heat by separating the hydrogen bond and evaporates.
