Why would the condensation of steam be considered an exothermic process?

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.
What is exothermic process?
Exothermic is the process that exert heat or giving out energy to surrounding. Example of exothermic process such as condensing of steam or burning of fuel.
Can steam be changed into watrr?
Yes, by the process the condensation process.
Is conversion of steam to water an exothermic reaction?
No. Converting water to steam is endothermic because the water must absorb heat from its environment.
What is the name for the process in which steam to water?
The Process from......Steam to Water is condensationWater to Steam is evaporationWater to Ice is FreezingIce to Water is MeltingHope that helps..... :)
The process of steam condensing to form liquid water is?
It is precipitation. Phase transition.

Process by which vapors change to liquid?
Steam is turned back into water by the process of condensation.
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.
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.
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, by the process the condensation process.
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
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.
Why do your spectacles steam up when you go from hot to cold?
I think you'll find that they only steam up when going from cold to hot. This is the condensation process
