The change of state of water from liquid to vapor, or the reverse from vapor to liquid, involves a fixed amount of thermal energy per unit mass, this is called the specific latent heat. To evaporate liquid water to vapor, heat must be supplied, whilst in condensing vapor to liquid, heat is released.
Similar rules apply to water when it changes from liquid to ice, or ice to liquid. You can look up the amount of the latent heat in physical tables.

∙ 11y agoheat is lost during condensation as the gas(higher temperature) turns into a liquid(lower temperature) and hence heat is lost
Wiki User
∙ 15y agono, because the water particles in the air are turning from a gas (high energy)to a liquid (with moderate energy), so energy is being lost

∙ 11y agoIs it heat gain or heat loss during condensation

When sweat evaporates and the the water molecules absorb heat energy why is this important?
they absorb your heat off your skin to keep you cool.
How does water absorb and radiate heat energy?
ask someone esle i don't know
Does a liquid give off energy or absorb energy when it turns into a gas?
It absorbs energy, the latent heat of vaporisation. This can be stated as so many Joules or calories per kilogram. When the gas condenses heat is given out.
Does the Bunsen burner absorb energy as heat?
The Bunsen burner release energy as heat of combustion.
What happens if energy is added to a glass of ice water?
If the energy is heat, the water will warm up. If it is kinetic, like throwing it against the wall, the glass will absorb the energy and probably smash into bits.
What happens to water when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
What happens to water vapor when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
When the gas condenses to liquid does it absorb or give off heat?
absorb
What is the energy released when steam condenses to water?
Latent heat of condensation.
When gaseous water condenses back into liquid water to make clouds is heat energy required by the process or is it released?
Energy is released.
What is the heat energy released when water vapor change to a liquid called?
The heat energy released when water vapor condenses to a liquid is called "heat of vaporization".
When sweat evaporates and the the water molecules absorb heat energy why is this important?
they absorb your heat off your skin to keep you cool.
Is energy released when water vapor condenses into liquid?
yes heat is released during condensation.
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
When water vapor from the ocean condenses it releases energy that can build into a hurricane true or false?
True. When water vapor condenses, it releases a significant amount of latent heat energy. In the context of hurricanes, this energy is a crucial factor that helps to fuel their growth and intensity. As the warm water evaporates and condenses, it releases energy that contributes to the formation and strengthening of the storm.
In terms of energy why is water used in cooling systems?
Water has a height specific heat, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat energy per kilogram.
