What happens when steam hits a cold surface?
It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.
How do you reverse a water boiling to make steam?
To reverse the process of water boiling to create steam, you would need to cool the steam down to its condensation point by transferring heat away from it. This can be achieved by allowing the steam to come in contact with a colder surface or by passing it through a cooling system. The steam will then revert back to its liquid state as water.
Does air turn into water?
No, when water boils it evaporates into single water molecules. We can see the cooler of these as they condense into steam. Steam or water vapour is the water molecules re-condensing into water droplets.
Why does water turn to steam when it is heated to 100⁰c?
This happens because the liquid particles of the water react to the heat. The particles start to move and bounce about rapidly, causing the water to condense and turn to vapour(which is steam). This is a great example of the chemical reaction of liquid->gas.
Why is steam made when you boil water?
Steam is created when water is boiled because the heat causes the water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from liquid form and turn into a gas. This gas is what we see as steam rising up from the boiling water.
How can you turn steam back into water?
You can turn steam back into water by condensing it, condensation is a process which changes a gas into water.
Is a steam from a kettle reversible?
Yes, the process of steam forming from a kettle is reversible. Steam can be condensed back into liquid water by cooling it down. This change from gas to liquid is reversible and can happen repeatedly.
Can distilled water can be used in boilers of nuclear power plant to obtain steam?
Yes Distilled water can be used in nuclear power plants to obtain steam. This steam after spinning the turbines (to turn electric generators for electricity generation) is condensed in a closed circuit and returned back as water to be heated up again and turned to steam.
How can you turn steam back to pure water?
I would assume trap it, and cool it back down
Can water vapour be turned back into liquid water?
Yes water vapour or steam can be reverted back to water through the process known as condensing. If the steam is collected and cooled it will turn to water droplets that can be collected as water.
How steam turn in to water?
When steam loses heat energy, it undergoes a phase change and condenses into water. This process is called condensation. The steam molecules slow down and come closer together, forming liquid water droplets.
How water in the boiling kettle turns into steam and turns back into water again?
first its the heat boils the water then if you turn off the heat it starts cooling down that's what happensAnother AnswerAll matter exists in one of three states; Solid, Liquid, or Gas. Steam is waters' gaseous state. Steam is invisible. The cloudy puffs you see is water condensing back into liquid state. The steam is condensing because it is cooler out in the ambient air.
What happens to the steam after it has been used in a coal or oil-fired power station?
Once the steam has been used to turn the turbines it is then cooled by pipes containing cool water, from somewhere else, as they pass through the steam. Then the steam (which is now water after being cooled) returns back to the boiler to be turned into steam again, so it can begin the whole process again. Different water cannot replace the used steam, it has to be condensed back to water, because only purified water can be used to turn the turbines, and it is too expensive to keep purifying more and more water. The steam has to be cooled and returned to water somewhere away from the turbines, as even one droplet of water could damage them, due to their fast movement and delicacy, despite being big. If you got this question from the AQA GCSE science text book (where i got it from!) then the diagram (on page 266) is helpful, but not that detailed.
What must you do to make steam into water?
Capture it in a container with a lid and let set at room temperature. It will eventually turn back into a liquid if you have enough steam
How do you turn steam into a liquid?
Water turns into steam by boiling, which means the water temperature rises above the boiling point (about 100°C in most cases, but it depends on the air pressure). Steam turns back into water by condensing, which means the temperature drops back below the boiling point.
What happens when steam hits a cold surface?
It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.
When you boil water in a kettle does it turn into steam?
yes it does as the air mixed in with the water, evaporates into steam.
