The energy level of water vapor is higher than that of liquid water because the energy invested in transforming that water into vapor (enthalpy of evaporation/vaporization) is higher than the energy it takes to melt ice (enthalpy of fusion). So when water vapor condenses, that extra energy that was used to cause the phase change from water to gas is released and absorbed by the object it condensed on.

Is water condensing a physical or chemical change?

Water condensing is a physical change. It is a change in state from the gaseous phase (water vapor) to the liquid phase (liquid water) without any change in the chemical composition of water molecules.


The change of state from Gas to LIquid?

The process of changing matter from the gaseous state to the liquid state is called condensing. A common example of condensation is steam from a hot shower condensing into water on the cooler bathroom mirror.


What does the word condensing mean?

Condensing refers to the process of changing a substance from its gaseous state to a liquid state by removing heat. This often involves cooling the gas below its condensation point to make it transition into a liquid.


The process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid?

The process by which water changes from liquid to a gas is called evaporation.At the liquid/ gas surface of water and air, water molecules are constantly escaping from the liquid phase into the gaseous phase (evaporation) and gaseous water vapor is simultaneously condensing onto the surface of the water. If the number of molecules escaping from the liquid phase is greater than the number of molecules condensing into liquid, we call the situation evaporation.ADD: Vaporization. There are two types of vaporization, evaporation and boiling.


What is meant by the term condensing?

"Condensing" typically refers to the process of changing a substance from its gaseous state to its liquid state by removing heat. This transition usually occurs when the substance reaches a certain temperature known as its "condensation point."


Can a liquid substance diffuse in another liquid substance a gaseous in liquid a gaseous in gaseous?

Yes, all of them.


What does condensing means?

to remove a liquid from another liquid


What do you called change from liquid from a solid?

The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition


When a gas turns into a liquid it is?

a liquid turns into gas when it is heated...


The process of gas to liquid?

Condensing or Condensation


When a substance changes from one state to another do the chemical properties change?

From solid to liquid, from liquid to gaseous, from gaseous to liquid, from liquid to solid, and in sublimation from solid to gaseous or the reverse, chemical properties do not change.


Is freon a solid liquid or a gas?

It could be any of the three but at room temperature it is a gas. Freon is a gas
