The question makes an incorrect assumption that a gas can not condense.
For most definitions of the terms, "gas" is synonymous with "vapor". Gas can condense - I observed it thousands of times while doing my doctoral an post-doctoral research.
One definition of "vapor" is "A substance diffused or suspended in the air". In this case a vapor would include clouds and smoke where liquid droplets and/or solid particles are suspended in a gas. They would have to be so small that they will remain suspended by the movements and currents within the gas rather than drifting down out of the gas due to gravitational forces. Note that this is NOT the same as condensing
The only other case where you might distinguish between a "gas" and a "vapor" is when one applies a very limited - and not very widely used - definition of "vapor" to define it as a saturated gas. A saturated gas is one that is at the point of equilibrium with a liquid. If you define vapor in that way, then when the term gas was used it would imply that it is not at the equilibrium point. Gases only condense at the equilibrium point.
Note that when you get above the critical temperature and pressure you enter a region in the phase space which is referred to as a "supercritical fluid". Changes in pressure above the critical temperature will not cause a supercritical fluid to condense or vaporize - it will just become more dense or less dense. Likewise changes in temperature above the critical pressure will only change density of the fluid in a continuous manner - never condensing or vaporizing the fluid. It is thus legitimate to ask why a gas may condense but not a supercritical fluid, but the same is not true in trying to distinguish between a gas and a vapor.
What else can I help you with?
What speeds up condensation?
Condensation is sped up by lowering the temperature of a gas or vapor, increasing the concentration of the gas or vapor, or introducing a surface that the gas can condense on. These factors facilitate the conversion of the gas molecules into a liquid state more rapidly.
What happen if the water vapor become extremely cold?
If water vapor becomes extremely cold, it will condense and turn into liquid water. This process is known as condensation and it happens when the water vapor loses enough energy to change state from gas to liquid.
What happens when water vapor loses heat?
When water vapor loses heat, it condenses back into liquid water. This process is known as condensation. It occurs when the temperature of the air is lowered, causing the water vapor to change state from gas to liquid.
Why does water vapor condense at higher elevations?
Water vapor condenses at higher elevations because the air pressure decreases as altitude increases. This lower air pressure causes the water vapor to cool and condense into liquid water droplets, forming clouds or precipitation.
What name is given to the temperature that vapour starts to condense?
The temperature at which vapor starts to condense is called the dew point temperature. This is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapor and condensation begins to form.
How can water vapor turn into gas?
Water vapor is already a gas since it is the gaseous form of water. If you are referring to how water vapor turns into liquid water, it does so through condensation when the temperature decreases enough for the vapor to condense back into liquid form.
What is the ayntonym of evaporate?
The antonym of "evaporate" is "condense." Evaporate means to change from a liquid to a vapor, while condense means to change from a gas to a liquid.
Does water from a puddle become water gas or condense?
simple it depends if it is sunny it evaporates if it is cold but not at freezing it will condense Liam sams
What are the key differences between vapor and gas in terms of their physical properties and behavior?
Vapor and gas are both gaseous states of matter, but they differ in how they are formed. Vapor is a gas that is formed when a substance changes from a solid or liquid state to a gas at a specific temperature and pressure. On the other hand, gas is a state of matter that exists naturally at room temperature and pressure. Vapor is typically denser than gas and can condense back into a liquid or solid form more easily. Gas, on the other hand, is more diffuse and does not easily condense.
How do you purify sea water using a Bunsen burner a gas supply and matches?
Distill water and condense vapor
What speeds up condensation?
Condensation is sped up by lowering the temperature of a gas or vapor, increasing the concentration of the gas or vapor, or introducing a surface that the gas can condense on. These factors facilitate the conversion of the gas molecules into a liquid state more rapidly.
When condensation occurs water changes from what?
Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
Which gas can produce droplets on a cold window?
Water vapor in the air can condense on a cold window, forming droplets. This is because the cold temperature causes the water vapor to cool and change from a gas to a liquid state.
What gasses condense?
Gases with low boiling points, such as water vapor, can condense into liquid form when cooled. Additionally, gases with high vapor pressure can also condense under the right conditions.
Can a gas change to a solid. If yes what is it called?
Yes, a gas can change directly to a solid. This process is called deposition. The gas particles condense and pack tightly together forming a solid directly. Water (or water vapor in its gas phase) can change directly into ice by subfreezing the water vapor.
What can water vapor condense into?
WaterWaterand More Water
Is steam from a steam train a gas?
No. It is water vapor. It acts similar to gases in some respects, but it is truly water vapor and will add to the atmosphere, when released, as moisture which can then condense and precipitate out, which gases will not do at ambient temperatures.
