Question

Explain why the conversion of water vapor to liquid water makes the air around it warmer. (Points : 5) @thomaster

Answer 1

Because condensation (gas phase to liquid phase) is an exothermic process, which means it releases heat energy.

Answer 2

It releases energy because the molecules become more strongly attracted to each other and move less rapidly, thus at a lower temperature.

Answer 3

Going from a Gas (higher energy stage) to a liquid (lower energy) released heat, and that heat or energy is released into the environment. This type of reaction like other had stated is an Exothermic.
