When water vapor condenses back to liquid water, it lets go of internal structural energy in order to revert back to liquid state. THe energy released is Lantent heat of condensation.

no when a substance is condensed it requires latent heat of fusion

What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?

1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.


This process results in the release of about 600 calories of latent heat per gram of water?

Do clouds and rain release latent heat?

Sort of. Actually it is the condensation of water vapor into liquid water (a drop of rain or a particle of cloud mist) that releases the latent heat (into the surrounding air). So strictly clouds and rain do not release latent heat.


The energy that gas changes to liquid?

The latent heat of condensation.


What is the energy released when steam condenses to water?

Latent heat of condensation.


Does condensation need heat?

Condensation releases energy rather than absorbing it, this is the latent heat of the change of state from liquid to gas and vice versa

What does L mean in the equation Heat equals mL?

L can either mean the latent heat of vaporization or condensation. The latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a liquid into a gas at its boiling point. The latent heat of condensation is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a solid into a liquid at its melting point.


Why does condensation warm us?

Because as things condense they give up their latent heat.


Why are condensation and evaporation opposite?

Why are Condensation and Evaporation opposite?Condensation is the process of changing water vapor to liquid or water due to the "Releasing of Heat", while Evaporation is the changing of water to water vapor due to the "Absorption of Heat"Or, in short:Condensation = releasing of heatEvaporation = absorption of heatSo that is why they are different or opposite


Why does nighttime temperatures rarely drop below the dewpoint temperature?

At saturation, latent heat of condensation is released into the air.


When snow forms in the air is the air warmed?

Not really, although condensation does release latent heat. Crystallization of snow flakes around nuclei isn't so much involved in this process.
