When you heat a pot of water why wouldn't the water temp decrease slightly when it starts boiling? Isnt boiling a type of evaporation? In evaporation the molecules near surface have enough KE to escape into the gas phase, which then lowers the T of the remaining liquid. That is how sweating cools the body right? So isn't boiling the same principle and if so shouldn't the T of the remaining liquid get lower as the steam escapes into surroundings? Thanks for any help
