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

Does condensation add or remove thermal energy?

Condensation releases thermal energy. As vapor cools and condenses into liquid form, it releases heat energy into its surroundings.


Why is condensation a heating process?

You have to add heat both to melt solids and to evaporate or boil liquids, and you gain heat when a gas condenses to a liquid or a liquid freezes to a solid. That is because there is actual chemical bonding that holds solids in a solid state, or liquids in a liquid state; in a gas the constituent molecules or atoms are not bonded to each other. Breaking bonds requires energy and forming bonds releases energy.


What makes evaporation and condensation alike?

Evaporation and Condensation are based upon the energy in the water molecules. If the water temperature (vapor) is above the surface temperature, it will evaporate. If the water temperature (vapor) is below the surface temperature it will condense. Evaporation and condensation are happening at the same time. We add the term "Net" at the beginning to show which is happening at a greater rate. The temperature at which there is net condensation is referred to as dew point.


What is the easiest to add energy to matter?

You can raise an object (potential energy), make it move (kinetic energy), or add heat to it (heat energy, a.k.a. thermal energy).


Is it possable to add heat but not change the temperature of somthing?

Yes, it is possible to add heat to something without changing its temperature. This can happen during a phase change, such as when melting a solid into a liquid or evaporating a liquid into a gas, where the added heat provides the energy needed for the molecules to change their arrangement without a change in temperature.

How do you heat water without energy?

No energy, no heat. So you cannot add heat.

Is melting a process to add heat energy to the environment?

No. It takes heat from the environment.


What happens when scientists add heat energy to an object or take heat energy away from an object?

When scientists add heat energy to an object, the particles in the object gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and increasing the object's temperature. When heat energy is taken away from an object, the particles lose kinetic energy, moving slower, and decreasing the object's temperature.


Evaporation is a cooling process and condensation is?

a warming process. Evaporation involves the absorption of heat from the surroundings to change liquid water into water vapor, which cools the surroundings. On the other hand, condensation releases heat to the surroundings as water vapor changes back into liquid, therefore warming the surroundings.


What is needed for matter to change phase?

Heat is needed for matter to change form eg: Melting, condensation, etc.


How do you stop water from freezing?

heat it up, add energy to it


What do you add or subtracting to change a state of matter?

To change the state of matter, you need to add or remove energy. For example, to change a solid to a liquid, heat is added to increase the temperature until it reaches the melting point. Likewise, to change a liquid to a gas, heat is added to increase the temperature until it reaches the boiling point.
