Gases like water vapor typically condense when they are cooled rather than heated. When the temperature of water vapor decreases, its molecules lose energy and come together to form liquid water. Heating water vapor generally causes it to remain in a gaseous state or expand, preventing condensation. Thus, condensation occurs during cooling, not heating.

When water is heated up by the sun and becomes water vapor that is?
When water is heated by the sun, it undergoes a process called evaporation, transforming from liquid water into water vapor. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it can cool and condense to form clouds. This process is a key component of the water cycle, contributing to precipitation and the replenishment of water sources on Earth.
Is water heated from water vapour?
Water is typically heated from a liquid state, not from water vapor. Water vapor forms when liquid water is heated to its boiling point and evaporates into the air. To heat water using water vapor, one would need to first condense the vapor back into liquid water before further heating it.
What is condense water vapor?
Condensed water vapor refers to water vapor that has cooled and changed back into liquid form. This process is known as condensation and often occurs when warm air cools down, causing the water vapor it contains to condense into droplets or form clouds.
What is the large masses of water vapor called?
Large masses of water vapor are called clouds. Clouds are formed when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals.
What must be available for water vapor to condense and form clouds?
Water vapor must be present in the air, along with cooling temperatures or rising air currents, for the vapor to condense and form clouds. Condensation nuclei, such as dust or pollutants, also aid in cloud formation by providing surfaces for water vapor to gather and form droplets.
What gasses condense?
Gases with low boiling points, such as water vapor, can condense into liquid form when cooled. Additionally, gases with high vapor pressure can also condense under the right conditions.
Is steam from a steam train a gas?
No. It is water vapor. It acts similar to gases in some respects, but it is truly water vapor and will add to the atmosphere, when released, as moisture which can then condense and precipitate out, which gases will not do at ambient temperatures.
Does water vapor turn to gas or liquid?
Water vapor is the gaseous state of water, so it is already in the gas form. When water vapor cools, it can condense into liquid water, forming droplets. Conversely, when water is heated, it can evaporate, turning from liquid to gas as water vapor.
When water is heated up by the sun and becomes water vapor that is?
When water is heated by the sun, it undergoes a process called evaporation, transforming from liquid water into water vapor. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it can cool and condense to form clouds. This process is a key component of the water cycle, contributing to precipitation and the replenishment of water sources on Earth.
What happenes to water vapor when thermal energy is removed?
When thermal energy is removed from water vapor, it cools down and condenses into liquid water. This process of condensation is the opposite of evaporation, where liquid water turns into water vapor when heated.
Is water heated from water vapour?
Water is typically heated from a liquid state, not from water vapor. Water vapor forms when liquid water is heated to its boiling point and evaporates into the air. To heat water using water vapor, one would need to first condense the vapor back into liquid water before further heating it.
What can water vapor condense into?
WaterWaterand More Water
When condensation occurs water changes from what?
Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
Is destilled water a mixture?
The short answer is no! But distilled water may have gases dissolved in it. You distill water by boiling it capturing the vapor and allowing the vapor to condense into liquid water this removes solids (i.e. salt, acids, bacteria, virus). But it is not guaranteed to remove all dissolved gases. (i.e. Oxygen, Nitrogen)
At what temperature does water vapor condense?
Water vapor condenses into liquid water at its dew point temperature.
Does water must be heated in order to move from a gasesous to a liquid state?
No, water can condense into a liquid state without needing to be heated. This process is called condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and transforms back into liquid water droplets. Heating water is needed to catalyze the opposite process, turning liquid water into water vapor through evaporation.
How can water vapor turn into gas?
Water vapor is already a gas since it is the gaseous form of water. If you are referring to how water vapor turns into liquid water, it does so through condensation when the temperature decreases enough for the vapor to condense back into liquid form.
