Solid condensation on a surface that is below 0C is known as?
Water vapour changing to solid on a surface is sublimation of the vapour. For water the product is referred to as rime or hoarfrost.
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 happens when the temperature of liquid water drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius?
It becomes solid water.
What are the three physical forms that water occurs in?
Solid, Liquid, Gas. Water will take on these forms at different temperatures. Liquid at above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, Solid at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and below, and Gas at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
When a warm surface hits a cold vapour does this form condensation?
Yes - the practical experience of many photographers confirms that if you take warm equipment outside into cold conditions that condensation will form on the surface of eg the lens. Interestingly, this result is not predicted by basic theory. In almost every explanation of condensation that you will find, condensation occurs when warm air is cooled by a cooler surface so that the air drops below its "dew point" and can no longer contain all of the water that it is carrying. So, the condensation from cold air on a warm surface is not expected, but is a very real actual effect. Various scenarios can be proposed to explain this apparent anomaly. So far I have not met a satisfying explanation BUT the effect is real.

What is the surface area and volume of each solid below?
what is the surface area and volume of each solid below
What is the vaporization of a liquid?
The transition from the liquid or solid phase to the gas phase.
When is mercury a solid?
When very cold, at or below -39 degrees Celsius (-38 degrees Fahrenheit) mercury is a solid.
How can you make a glass surface to have a positive surface charge?
You may check the study below. You can bond positively charged trialkoxysilanes to the surface by a simple condensation reaction.
What happens to a gas as it is cooled below 0 degrees?
this is known as liquifaction if the gas is cooled to liquid.
Which of the regions below the earths surface are believed to be solid?
It is said that the crust and the inner core are to be solid.
When does condensation occur?
Condensation occurs when warm air hits a cooler surface and the moisture from the warm air forms on the cooler surface. In meteorology, condensation is water that is collected as droplets onto a cloud surface when humid or warm air gets in to contact with it.
In order for water as steam to become water as liquid it has to?
undergo the process of condensation. This occurs when the water vapor cools and loses energy, causing the molecules to come together and form liquid water droplets. Condensation can happen when steam comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as when steam from a shower condenses on a bathroom mirror.
The temperature at which is Pacific liquid becomes a solid?
Anything below 76 degrees pacific liquids become solid. Anything above 76 degrees it will be liquid.
Can it snow when the temperature is 50 degrees?
no, has to be 32 degrees or below! sorry yes it can snow if it is 50f at the surface, but below freezing in the upper levels.
