Why Is Condensation a Warming Process? What Does Condensation Warm

question 30

Multiple Choice

Why is condensation a warming process? What does condensation warm?

• A)Condensation transfers slower, lower kinetic energy vapor molecules to the liquid state, thus raising the overall temperature of both the gas and liquid molecules in the process.
• B)Condensation transfers the faster, higher kinetic energy vapor molecules to the liquid state, thus imparting the excess energy to the liquid and raising its temperature.
• C)From a kinetic energy standpoint, we refer to condensation as a warming process. However, only the vapor molecules are losing energy and imparting that energy to the liquid, so only the liquid is warmed.
• D)Condensation cools the vapor and warms the liquid phase. Since the process is always defined by the product, condensation is called a warming process.
