During the process of condensation, water vapor
a) releases 334 J/g of heat energy
b) releases 2260 J/g of heat energy
c) gains 334 J/g of heat energy
d) gains 2260 J/g of heat energy

I've narrowed it down to a or b, but I wrote the whole question in case I'm wrong-

Respuesta :

Answer:

I actually got releases 2260 J/g of heat energy.

Explanation:

you can determine this by the earth science reference table on the first page , and plus I have the same question.

The process through which the water vapour gets converted into liquid is called condensation. It happens either because of cool air or saturation.

The correct option is:

Option b. releases 2260 J/g of heat energy

This can be explained as:

  • The amount of heat required for converting 1 mole of liquid into the gaseous state at atmospheric pressure is called the latent heat of vaporization.

  • The amount of heat released from a mole of vapour when condensed to liquid is called the latent heat of condensation.

  • During this process, the temperature remains constant and the heat released gets used in the conversion of substance and is called latent.

Therefore, the heat of condensation of water vapour is about 2,260 J/g.
