How is condensation related to vaporization?

Answer 1

As explained by previous responders, condensation is the reverse of vaporisation. However it is important to realise that vaporisation is the transition to a gaseous state and condensation is the transition from a gaseous state.

There are substances and conditions where a liquid state never occurs. For example carbon dioxide (dry ice) at one atmosphere of pressure passes from solid to gas without becoming a liquid. This is still called vaporisation. It passes from gas to solid without becoming a liquid and this is still called condensation. By far the more common transition is from and to a liquid state.

Answer 2

Condensation is the transition of a substance from the gaseous state to the liquid state and vaporisation is the opposite process. There is an equilibrium state (balance) between the two which in general depends on the local pressure and temperature. Thus, in the atmosphere, water will vaporise more easily and quickly into dry, warm air and condense preferentially out of humid air on to cold surfaces.

Answer 3

vaporization - just a liquid forming into vapor at boiling pt
condensation - condensing or liquification of vapor back into liquid

Answer 4

Liquid form to vapor form and back again. A never ending cycle.
