Condensation occurs when air is saturated with water vapor and comes into contact with a surface that is cooler than the dew point temperature. This causes the water vapor to change from a gas to a liquid, resulting in condensation.

What is the carbon dioxide and water vapor in air called?

Condensation. In order for condensation to happen it would need something to stick on to such as soot, dirt, sand etc, this is called CONDENSATION NUCLEI. So basically our clouds are just a bunch of dirt suspended in the air.

Does heat need to be taken away or added in order for cendensation to take place?

It needs to be added, in order for condensation to take place you have to have both cold and warm temperatures. For example, if you have ice water you usually have condensation because the ice and the air outside the glass mix and make condensation.

Which conditions must exist for condensation to occur in the atmosphere?

In order for water vapor to condense three things need to be present. The first is humidity, next is a temperature change (warm water vapor coming in contact with a cool surface), and finally there needs to be a condensation nuclei. A condensation nuclei is a solid on which condensation takes place such as a cold cup.


What lab equipment do you need for a desalination experiment?

You need a way to boil the water and allow the condensation to collect in a condensation coil that leads to a container holding the water


Is this statement true or false Water vapor does not need a solid object on which to condense.?

True. Water vapor can condense directly into liquid water without needing a solid object as a surface for condensation to occur. The process of condensation can happen in the air when water vapor cools and reaches saturation point.


What two conditions need to exist in order to do work?

In order to do work, two conditions that need to exist are a force must be applied on an object and the object must move in the direction of the applied force. If either of these conditions is not met, work is not being done on the object.

Why do the pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated?

The pips in a steam heating system need to be insulated to prevent condensation. Condensation can lead to mold and or freezing of the steam pipes in the winter.
