Heat and Condensation

[Madison Hurst]

Is heat absorbed or released during condensation?

[armintaheri]

Condensation is the transition from gas to liquid. Gas molecules have lots of energy because they are moving around quickly. To turn them into liquid, you have to slow them down significantly, by removing heat from them. Therefore, condensation releases heat.

[Phil Timoteo 1K]

Condensation releases heat and energy to turn from gas to liquid.

[AlyssaBei_1F]

Condensation releases heat because you are going from a gas to liquid state. In a gas molecules are moving rapidly, so in order to slow the particles you need to release heat to turn them into a liquid.

[Aiden Atoori 1C]

Condensation, changing from a gas to liquid state, is releasing energy.

[lindsey_ammann_4E]

Condensation is exothermic.

[Casandra]

Condensation releases energy.

[davidryan3f]

Condensation is exothermic, releases heat, because it is the changing of a gas state to a liquid state.

[Ricardo Martin 1J]

Condensation releases heat.

[Anna O 2C]

Condensation releases heat and is exothermic because molecules are going from the gas phase to the liquid phase by making bonds. Creating bonds will release excess energy as the two molecules move to a lower energy level so that energy will be released back into the surroundings in the form of heat.
