Question

Which property of water allows dogs to cool themselves by panting?

the formation of covalent bonds between water molecules
water’s high heat of vaporization
water’s high surface tension

Answer 1

The property of water that allows dogs to cool themselves by panting is **water’s high heat of vaporization**. When dogs pant, moisture evaporates from their tongues and the surfaces of their mouths, which helps to cool them down due to the absorption of heat that occurs during the evaporation process.
