In the normal conditions (sea level) water evaporates at 100 C.
In thermodynamics, we say: the amount of energy Q, can raise temperature of the liquid by the formula Q1=cm(t2-t1); when the liquid reaches the boiling point (100 C), we write Q2=Lm.
Q2 is entirely spent on changing liquid state into gaseous state, but as I know it's not necessary for liquid to evaporate (liquid goes into the gaseous state more and more rapidly as we approach the higher temperatures).
The question is: isn't the energy we give, is partially spent on changing state on the <100 C temperatures; and if so - why we don't consider it
