Question
what happens to the heat when water vapor (gas) results into droplets of water (liquid)?
○ heat is absorbed
○ heat is released
○ heat is created
○ heat is destroyed
When water vapor (gas) condenses into droplets of water (liquid), it undergoes a phase change. In condensation, the gas loses energy. This energy loss is in the form of heat being released. According to the law of conservation of energy, heat is not created or destroyed (eliminating those options). Absorption of heat would be for the reverse process (evaporation).
