What occurs during condensation?
Condensation occurs in the atmosphere as part of the phases in rain cycle. During the condensation phase, water vapor transforms into liquid form. When warm air rises into the atmosphere, it cools down and loses its ability to hold water vapor resulting to the condensation of water forming cloud droplets.
Cooling the air to a temperature below the dew point causes the water vapor to begin to change back into a liquid is what process?
Condensation
What would be a reason your cars exhaust would begin spewing?
Condensation
What physical change is it when the windows begin to fog?
When the windows begin to fog, the physical change is: condensation of water vapor.
What temperature does steam condense?
When water reaches boiling, it becomes steam. Once the water cools down, typically below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it will begin to form water droplets or condensation.
What produces condensation?
As the temperature of a volume of air decreases, the ability of the air to sustain a vaporous mixture of H2O decreases. When the moisture content of the air is higher than that which can be sustained by the temperature and pressure of the air, clusters of H2O molecules begin to form. As they gain in mass and size they drop to the ground and condense as moisture. They will also become more stationary as they lose kinetic energy, and more likely to cling to any surface they contact that is thermodynamically absorbent, such as a cold surface. The "dew point" as this is called is also dependent on pressure.
Why do soft drinks sweat more in summer than winter?
First of all, the 'sweat' on a cold drink container is condensation. Condensation occurs when there is sufficient humidity in the air, and that air is cooled below the dew point. This is exactly what happens with a cold drink container in the summer. In summer there is usually fairly high humidity, but even more important, that moisture is warm, and is easily cooled (by the cold drink container) to a temperature that is below the dew point, and . . . . . water droplets begin to collect on the container's surface. Once the container warms to a temperature above the dew point, you will see the 'sweat' is gone.
What happens when water vapor loses energy?
It can begin to form liquid droplets through the process of condensation.
Why does a mirror get moist if a room's temperature is high?
If you turn up the heat in a room, that won't necessarily cause condensation to form on mirrors in the room. The formation of tiny water droplets on the mirror depends upon how humid the air is to begin with, what the temperature of the glass is compared to the nearby air, and how clean or dirty the glass is. (Condensation has a hard time forming on clean glass.) If the room heated up very quickly, much faster than the mirror, then condensation could form on the glass. If you happen to bring a cold mirror into a warm, humid room, then condensation will form on the mirror. Or if you introduce steam or water vapor into a room, as when you turn on the hot water in the shower, condensation may form on the mirrors in the bathroom. In both cases, the condensation forms not because the temperature in the room is high but because the temperature of the air close to the glass is much cooler than the air in the rest of the room. Since cool air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, the water vapor precipitates out of the air and forms microscopic liquid water droplets on tiny pieces of dust on the glass.
What is lifting condensation level?
Lifting Condensation Level is altitude at which clouds begin in a rising parcel of air. Lifting condensation level(LCL) can be said to be the level to which an unsaturated air parcel can be lifted adiabatically before it becomes saturated.Remember,this unsaturated air parcel is moist
Why does the adiabatic rate of cooling change when condensation begin?
When water changes state from a vapor to a liquid it release heat.
Do most earthquakes begin at Earth's surface?
