Condensation is when molecules of a substance reach a low enough temperature to change state from gas to liquid. The process you described is called evaporation.

Does a liquid turn into a gas when the particles speed up?

Yes. A liquid turns into a gas when the particles speed up. When the particles in the liquid start going at a faster speed than the forces of cohesion in the liquid can hold them in the liquid and the air pressure can continue to push them into the liquid, they leave the liquid.


What causes water to evaporate in the water cycle?

Evaporation occurs when molecules of a liquid (such as water) leave the liquid and become suspended in the air. Liquids are constantly losing molecules to the air at all temperatures, and some may be returned to the liquid from the air as they lose energy. However, the addition of heat energy can increase the rate of evaporation by exciting more of the molecules in the liquid.At what is known as the "boiling point", most or all of the molecules will have enough energy to leave the liquid. If the air above has the capacity to absorb it, the liquid's molecules will eventually all be held in the air. If the air cools, reducing the energy of the molecules and the air's ability to hold them, the molecules may return to a liquid state, in the process called condensation.


What mixture made by mixing a liquid and gas?

Be more specific like which liquid and which gas


Why is black soot formed when the flame is luminous?

The black deposit produced represents soot particles, heated to incandescence. It comes about when the combustion of air is insufficient.


What is the term use for when particles leave the cell?

When particles leave the cell is is either through a passive process such as diffusion or an active process called exocytosis.

What is it called when particles only leave the surface of a liquid?

When particles leave the surface of a liquid and enter the gas phase, it is called evaporation. This process occurs when the kinetic energy of the particles is high enough to overcome the attractive forces holding them in the liquid phase.


What happens when high energy particles leave the surface of the liquid?

When high energy particles leave the surface of a liquid, it causes the liquid to evaporate. Evaporation occurs when molecules at the surface gain enough energy to escape into the air as gas.

Why does evaporation lowers the temperature of liquid?

In any liquid the particles are moving around at various different speeds. The temperature is a measure of the average speed. When a liquid starts to evaporate, it is because the most energetic particles leave the liquid and move away into the air. This means that the average speed of particles in the liquid is less and so the temperature is lowered. However, energy is soon absorbed from the surroundings.


When a bottle is cold why does the outside get wet after you leave it for a while?

This is due to condensation. The cold surface of the bottle condenses the water vapor in the air (humidity) into liquid water.


If liquid evaporates what happens?

In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.


Are particles in a liquid organized?

In a liquid the surface tension cause the liquid to act as if a thin film were stretched across its surface. For example, surface tension allows the spider to float on water as if the water had a thin film.right but not for this question. in a liquid, the particles are not in formation like in a solid, and they can move about. However they can't leave the container until they are heated to become a gas.


What is heat transfer in condensation?

It's complicated and hard to explain, but I'll try my best. Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes to a gas, but only on the surface of the liquid volume. The gas molecules transfer heat to the liquid molecules. An unequal distribution of heat causes some liquid molecules to become gas molecules. It is random and uneven. Energy from the sun also spawns evaporation. When evaporation does happen, the molecules that leave the liquid body takes a lot of heat with it, therefor the average temperature of the liquid decreases. Evaporation depends on heat, humidity, and air movement.


How does a solid goes to a liquid then go to a gas?

Definitely on heating a solid can change into liquid state because on heating the kinetic energy of the particles of solid increase and they move more freely.At stage a particular stage particles leave their definite place and solid change into liquid.Again when we heat liquid it changes into on a particular temperature at atmospheric temperature and this temperature is known as its boiling point


What does condensation mean for kids?

Condensation is when a vapor turns into a liquid. That is why you see water droplets on or inside of items in a refrigerator. For instance, take droplets inside a jug of milk. While the milk is sitting out, some of the water content in it evaporates inside the container but does not leave since the lid is on. Then you sit in inside the refrigerator. That vapor turns back into water because the refrigerator is cold, and the liquid runs back down the inside of the jug.
