Condensation of water vapors in atmosphere actually \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
Show Hint
- cools the surrounding
- sometime cools and sometimes warms the surrounding
- warms the surrounding
- neither cools nor warms the surrounding
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand phase changes and energy.
Changing the phase of a substance requires an input or release of energy, known as latent heat.
- Melting (solid to liquid) and evaporation (liquid to gas) are endothermic processes; they absorb heat from the surroundings, causing cooling.
- Freezing (liquid to solid) and condensation (gas to liquid) are exothermic processes; they release heat into the surroundings, causing warming.
Step 2: Apply this to condensation.
When water vapor (a gas) condenses into liquid water droplets to form clouds, it must release the energy that was required to turn it into a gas in the first place. This released energy is called the latent heat of condensation. This energy is transferred to the surrounding air molecules.
Conclusion: The release of latent heat during condensation warms the surrounding atmosphere. This is a crucial process in the development of storms like hurricanes.
