Is condensation of water vapor the same as solidification?
Wwjdreneekaiser32
No, condensing is the turning of water gas (vapor of steam) into a liquid while solidification is changing the liquid phase into a solid phase (ice). I believe if I can remember my Thermdynamics that all fluids can also directly from gas into a solid at high pressures. I believe that is called sublimation.

What makes evaporation and condensation alike?
Evaporation and Condensation are based upon the energy in the water molecules. If the water temperature (vapor) is above the surface temperature, it will evaporate. If the water temperature (vapor) is below the surface temperature it will condense. Evaporation and condensation are happening at the same time. We add the term "Net" at the beginning to show which is happening at a greater rate. The temperature at which there is net condensation is referred to as dew point.
What is the substance the makes a window fog up when you breathe on it?
It's the water vapor in your breath, after it becomes liquid water. Warmer air is able to hold more water vapor than cooler air. When you breathe onto a cold surface, the air in your breath is cooled, and it can't then hold as much water vapor as it did when it was warm. So some of the vapor condenses out ... becomes water instead of vapor ... and the condensed water collects on the glass. Exactly the same process is responsible when you exhale into cold air and you "see your breath".
How are condensation and and evaporation the same?
Evaporation and condensation are the same because when a liquid evaporates it turns to condensation.
How is water and water vapor the same?
Chemically, they are both H20. One is in liquid state, one is in vapor state, but there is no chemical change there.
Is condensing water vapor into rainfall a chemical or physical change?
This is a physical change, because the rainfall will eventually change back into water vapor. It is still has the same chemical makeup.
Change from liquid water to water vapor?
Turning a vapour into a liquid is called condensation.
Condensation of water vapor in the air occurs when the temperature drops below the point at which the air's?
capacity and specific humidity are the same
Water vapor and steam are the same thing?
Yes, but that stuff you can see isn't steam. Neither steam nor water vapor are visible. The could of white stuff you can see above a boiling kettle is water droplets formed by the condensation of the water vapor/steam as it collides with the cooler air outside the kettle.

Does condensation remove carbon dioxide from the air?
Naturally, condensation refers to the change of state - water vapor into water liquid. In a technologically enhanced Future, under future Technological Conditions, condensation may be employed in the same manner to CO2.
Is water vapor the same as steam?
No. Steam is the gaseous form of water, and is invisible. The cloud of white stuff you can see above a boiling kettle is water vapor; droplets formed by the condensation of the steam as it collides with the cooler air outside the kettle.
Is the condensation of water vapor a chemical change?
A phase change is not a chemical change since the chemical remains the same; water is still water, whether it is in the solid, liquid, or gas phase.
How does condensation differ from boiling?
Both are the process of water changing state: first condensation is changing from vapor to liquid and evaporation is from liquid to a gas.
What processes change water to vapor in air and back to iquid water?
condensationThis term is not only used for water, but for any gas that changes state into liquid.We often use the term in everyday speech as well as in technical contexts. For example, people talk about "condensation" on windows. This is atmospheric water vapor that has condensed on cool glass, becoming liquid.
Why didn't the same thing happen to the glass filled with warm water?
Water droplets form when the water vapor cools. The cooling causes it to condense into water. A warm glass does not cause cooling or condensation, so no water droplets.
When ice turns to water in a container What is the liquid on the outside of the container?
The liquid to which you are referring is likely condensation - water. When water vapor in the air encounters something cold, such as a container with ice in it, the vapor tends to collect and condense into liquid water around the cold object. The same thing happens with a glass of ice water on a hot day.
What is the freezing point for condensation?
condensation is WATER that has been CONDENSED from the air. i would suppose that condensation will freeze at the same temperature as water from anywhere
