What phase change turns water vapor into liquid water?
is Condensation.
What describes the condensation of water vapor?
Condensation of water vapors is the transformation (change of phase) from water as a gas to water as a liquid.
What is it called when water vapor turns from a gas to a liquid?
Evaporation
Under what condition can entropy decrease in a system?
First of all, entropy is the defined as the extent to which something is disordered. In chemistry, for entropy in a SYSTEM to decrease, the products of a reaction must be less disordered than the reactants. The extent of "disordered-ness" can be seen by the physical states of the substances. A gas is more disordered than a liquid, which is more disordered than a solid. So, an example of a reaction that leads to a decrease in entropy is: HCl(gas) +NH3(gas) -----> NH4Cl(solid) So you see, there are more gaseous molecules in the reactant side of the equation than in the product side, which means the products are less disordered than the reactants. ----------------------------------------------- However, one must note that if the entropy of a system(reaction) decreases, the entropy of the surroundings should increase. This is because change in TOTAL entropy(A) = change in entropy of SYSTEM(B) + change in entropy of SURROUNDINGS(C). It is a rule that A must increase in every case ( have a positive value). If the B is negative(a decrease in entropy), C must be positive(an increase in entropy) to keep the value of A positive.
Is entropy of water is higher than entropy of ice?
Entropy of water is higher than ice due randomness in the water molecule
How does the entropy of the system change when equal volumes of ethanol and water are mixed to form a solution?
It increases
When salt is dissolved in water do you think the entropy of the system of salt and water increases or decreases?
Entropy will decrease.
The process by which water changes to liquid is called?
It is by condensation that water vapor changes to liquid water.
Does water vapor change into water when condensation occurs?
Yep. The very definition of 'condensation' is a state change from a gas to a liquid.
What did the water vapour change into?
condensation
What phase change turns water vapor into liquid water?
is Condensation.
When water freezes should the change in entropy be positive or negative and explain?
Please be aware that the change will be neither positive or negative. You see when "water" freezes the entropy will not change due the tempertaure of the area around it meaning the entropy will stay neutral. You are very welcome young man
What describes the condensation of water vapor?
Condensation of water vapors is the transformation (change of phase) from water as a gas to water as a liquid.
How do evaporation and condensation change the form of water?
Water to vapor and vapor to water are the results of evaporation and condensation, respectively.
The change from water vapor to liquid is called?
This is normally called "condensation"
Is condesning water a chemical or physical change?
Condensation of water is a physical change.
What is meant by entropy?
Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder a system has. More accurately the amount of work that can be extracted from a system. The more entropy a system has the less work that can be done. 1kg of steam at 500 degrees can do lots more work than a kilo of warm water. Entropy always increases in a closed system. Entropy is why everything eventually breaks down.
