Why does steam condense to liquid water when it travels through the condenser?

When water is heated above 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit it boils, turning from a liquid into a gas (steam). So, when it falls below this temperature it changes back into a liquid. A condenser is a chamber like device where a gas is allowed to cool (in this case steam), as it cools below 100 degrees Celsius it becomes water again.
NOTE: The temperature at which water turns into a gas (boils) or changes back to water (condenses) is different depending on the atmospheric pressure of the area it's in. 100 degrees C is the boiling point at one atmosphere pressure or the normal air pressure around you at sea level.

∙ 11y agowater becomes a liquid in condensation as the particles lose energy due to the lack of heat energy that made them rise up in the first place. this lack of energy draws the particles closer together, and, as the water is now more dense, falls to the ground as rain, or precipitation.

Funcation of condenser?
The function of the condenser is to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, typically by cooling it.
What is a condenser in a lab known as?
A condenser is generally an object made from glass, used to condense a gas to a liquid.
What is the main function of condonser?
Assuming you mean condenser, in an automobile ac system the condenser is used to condense vapor into liquid.
What is the function of a condensor?
Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.
How will you describe condenser?
Condenser use to condense the liquid for e.g: seperation of an emulsion by condensing the liquid & form different layer of oil & water &more dense liquid willlie at the bottom by that we can seperate the liquid. ;-)
What is name of apparatus used to allow the distilled vapour to condense in order to collect the liquid?
A condenser
What does a leibig condenser do?
Condenses vapours of liquids so they condense back to liquid. They are composed of a tube carrying the vapour with a water jacket around it through which cold water can pass
How does the arrangement and movement of particles in alcohol change as they get separated from the juice?
well in a liquid the particles move freely. When it goes through a condenser it changes into gas vapour. However when it comes back out it drops as a liquid because the condenser condenses the gas and changes the gas to liquid. The particles move closer as in a gas particle they move freely. So the gas particles move closer which forms the liquid particles. They change because they condense if the go through a condenser! Sorry if itz not the answer ur not lookin for sorry
What is the scientific name for a condenser?
The scientific name for a condenser used in chemistry and engineering is "reflux condenser." It is used in laboratory setups to cool and condense vapors back into liquid form.
What is difference between condenser and heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to the others. A condenser is simply a heat exchanger. It compresses refrigerants into a hot gas to then condense them into a liquid. Majorly condenser is used to cool the required vapor and heat exchanger is used to heat the required liquid.
Can you condense a liquid?
You can condense a liquid by putting in heat.
What is the function of the condenser coil in a refrigerator?
The condenser coil, sometimes coils depending on the model, rests outside of the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerant, in a gas form and very warm, travels to the condenser coil where it cools and condenses into a liquid form as it moves through each pass of the coil. Once in a liquid state, the refrigerant is stored in a reservoir until needed for the refrigeration cycle to begin again.
