Responses
Evaporation turns water vapor into a liquid while condensation turns water droplets into a gas.
Evaporation turns water vapor into a liquid while condensation turns water droplets into a gas.
They both turn water from a gas to a liquid.
They both turn water from a gas to a liquid.
They both turn water from a liquid to a gas.
They both turn water from a liquid to a gas.
Evaporation turns water droplets into a gas while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
Evaporation turns water droplets into a gas while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
The correct answer is:
Evaporation turns water from a liquid to a gas, while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
The correct response is:
Evaporation turns water from a liquid to a gas, while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
To understand why this is true, we first need to understand what evaporation and condensation are.
Evaporation is the process by which a liquid, such as water, changes into a gas or vapor. This occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to break free from the surface and enter the gas phase. This increase in energy is usually caused by heating the liquid or by increasing the surface area over which the liquid is exposed, such as in the case of boiling.
On the other hand, condensation is the process by which a gas or vapor changes into a liquid. This occurs when the molecules of the gas lose energy and slow down, causing them to come together and form liquid droplets. Condensation typically occurs when the gas comes into contact with a colder surface, as the loss of energy causes the gas molecules to become less active and form liquid droplets.
So, to summarize, evaporation turns water from a liquid to a gas, and condensation turns water vapor (a gas) into a liquid.
