When a liquid substance is heated, it changes to a gas. Thus the opposite should happen when the substance becomes liquid again, i.e. when it is cooled it changes to liquid (it condenses). So as it condenses it cool down (which means it give away heat from its body). As heat is given up, during the process, it is an exothermic reaction.

Is the process of condensing exothermic or endothermic?

Condensation is considered a type of exothermic reaction. Condensation is something that is released, which means that is exothermic instead of endothermic.


Is mist forming on a mirror endothermic or exothermic?

The creation of "mist" or steam (condensation) from water is exothermic but the mirror is not experiencing any kind of chemical reaction.


Process by which vapors change to liquid?

Steam is turned back into water by the process of condensation.


Is steam condensation?

Yes, it is. When steam condenses into water, the water molecules lose energy and this energy is transferred to the surroundings. Loosing energy is exothermic.


The process of steam condensing to form liquid water is?

The process of steam condensing to form liquid water involves the transfer of heat energy from the steam to the surrounding cooler environment. As the steam loses heat, its temperature decreases and it undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid. This results in the formation of liquid water droplets.


Is the formation of water endothermic or exothermic?

The process is endothermic because the water is absorbing heat from the kettle. When energy (heat) is released as steam this is exothermic.


When steam is cooled in the air you can see it condensing What process is that?

When steam is cooled in the air, you can see it condensing into a mist. This process is called condensation.


Can steam be changed into watrr?

Yes, steam can be changed back into water through a process called condensation. When steam loses heat energy, it changes into water droplets. This can be achieved, for example, by allowing steam to cool inside a container.


Is water vapor condensing on a glass exothermic or endothermic?

Steam itself is not endothermic or exothermic - only chemical reactions can be labelled as exothermic or endothermic the reaction whithin the steam can only be exothermic or endothermic


Is conversion of steam to water an exothermic reaction?

Yes, the conversion of steam to water is an exothermic process. When steam condenses into water, it releases heat energy to the surroundings. This heat energy is given off as the steam loses its kinetic energy during the phase change.


Scientific name for steam to water?

Actually steam is water. Just tiny tiny droplets of water. But the answer I think you're looking for is condensation which is the process of water vapor (not steam) which is a gas cools down and condenses into water.


Do Steam from a teapot turning into liquid is an example of condensation?

No, steam from a teapot turning into liquid is not an example of condensation; rather, it is the process of condensation when steam (water vapor) cools down and transforms back into liquid water. Condensation occurs when the vapor loses energy and changes state, typically upon contact with a cooler surface. In this case, the steam condenses into liquid water droplets on the surface of the teapot or in the air.
