What is condensation? Explain, on a molecular level, how the condensation of water vapor on a bathroom mirror?

Answer 1

To condense on your mirror, water must first vaporize. It takes 539.6 calories to vaporize a gram of your shower water. Naturally, shower water is not "boiling hot." But some of it is. The energy in shower water is described by what is called the Boltzmann distribution. Some of your shower water has more than enough heat to "boil" it and so vaporizes and passes into the air. Somewhere else, on the mirror, water vapor has to give up 539.6 calories per gram to condense back into water. One important thing to remember is that while you're luxuriating in the shower and looking at all the "steam," that is not steam: It is condensed water vapor.

Answer 2

Condensation is the conversion of a substance (as water) from the vapor state to a denser liquid or solid state usually initiated by a reduction in temperature of the vapor

as u know in the water cycle after evaporation takes place the next process is condensation

when condensation takes place it changes water vapor into liquid or solid this usually cause by temperature

for example when u take a hot bath and the steam escapes into the atmosphere it finds a cool surface to condense on when it condenses it usually turns back into a liquid state because the must have been cooler that the water vapor was be fore it condenses that's u u normally see little drop lets of water on Ur mirror after u just taken a hot bath

condensation is just water vapor (H2O in gas form) losing energy/heat and condensing (less energy=molecules become closer together,

Answer 3

When the water comes out of the shower, it has been charged with heat making it a gas. When it cools down, it condenses on the mirror as a liquid, because less energy = less molecular movement. The less energy, the solider it becomes.

Answer 4

That little hunk (molecule) of water vapor (gas), with all its energy is buzzing though the air at super speeds when it rams into the cooler mirror. The collision results in the water molecule transferring its' energy to the glass (of the mirror). The water hunk is now moving too slow (speed determines if it is a solid, liquid, or gas [Kinetic Theory of Matter]) to be a gas so it is now a liquid. Outside, in the winter, the water could be so slowed down it will be a solid (frost).

Get an "A".

Answer 5

condensation is just water vapor (H2O in gas form) losing energy/heat and condensing (less energy=molecules become closer together, which in turn makes a liquid in this case) into a liquid, in this case... onto a bathroom mirror (which is most likely cooler than the water vapors, which then, in turn, absorb some of the heat, therefore, the water vapor loses heat and then turns into a liquid)

Answer 6

When u take a shower steam got on the mirrior which later looks like condensation

Answer 7

warm water molecules are seperate and free moving that gives it its steam appearance but as soon as the molecules cool [such as when it cools on a glass pane] its molecular levels become move stable and closer together hence back to water.

Answer 8

i admire solutions, and that i've got activity because of the fact i know a thank you to describe because of the fact without exception i'm getting it right here. lower back I have been given how do I clarify like to some one and that i wanted the respond. i will say the respond is right here after your question somebody else gave me answer. Now i say oops and that i i knew the respond.

Answer 9

codensation, or Condi as the president calls her, is the sec of state.
