B: The water molecules in sweat that have the highest kinetic energy are the ones that evaporate fi rst. This leaves the slower moving molecules behind and they have a lower temperature. These slower molecules will gain energy from the body heat and eventually have enough kinetic energy to evaporate, again cooling the body as more kinetic energy is transferred away from the body.
