When water vapor condenses back to liquid water, it lets go of internal structural energy in order to revert back to liquid state. THe energy released is Lantent heat of condensation.

Do clouds and rain release latent heat?

Sort of. Actually it is the condensation of water vapor into liquid water (a drop of rain or a particle of cloud mist) that releases the latent heat (into the surrounding air). So strictly clouds and rain do not release latent heat.


What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?

1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.


The energy that gas changes to liquid?

The latent heat of condensation.


This process results in the release of about 600 calories of latent heat per gram of water?

This process is referencing the release of heat when water changes from vapor to liquid state or vice versa, known as latent heat of vaporization or condensation. This energy release occurs due to the molecular bonds breaking or forming during the phase change, resulting in the absorption or release of energy.


The wet adiabatic rate of cooling is less than the dry rate because?

the wet adiabatic rate of cooling involves condensation of water vapor, releasing latent heat which partially offsets the cooling from expansion. This latent heat addition makes the wet rate slower than the dry rate, where no condensation occurs.


Does heat energy add during condensation?

During condensation, heat energy is released as water vapor changes to liquid water. This is known as the latent heat of condensation.


What is the heat that is released when water condenses and changes to liquid form?

The heat released when water condenses and changes to liquid form is called the latent heat of condensation. This heat is released because the water vapor loses energy as it transitions to a liquid state, leading to a release of thermal energy.


When water vapor condenses into a liquid does temperature rise?

Yes. There is latent heat release when vapor condenses.


Does condensation lose energy and change state?

Condensation releases energy as it changes from a gas to a liquid, usually in the form of heat. This process is called the latent heat of condensation.


Why is condensation heat loss?

Condensation leads to heat loss because the process of converting water vapor into liquid releases latent heat. As the water vapor cools down and condenses into liquid form, this released latent heat is transferred to the surroundings, resulting in a loss of heat from the system.


What does L mean in the equation Heat equals mL?

L can either mean the latent heat of vaporization or condensation. The latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a liquid into a gas at its boiling point. The latent heat of condensation is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a solid into a liquid at its melting point.


Why does condensation warm us?

Because as things condense they give up their latent heat.
