Key Stage 2
Meaning
Condensing is when a gas turns into a liquid.
- Noun: Condensation
- Verb: To condense
- Present Participle: Condensing
When you cool a gas:
|
A gas will condense to become a liquid.
|
About Condensing
- Cooling a gas will cause it to condense into a liquid.
- Condensing is a reversible process. When a gas condenses into a liquid you can evaporate that liquid back into a gas.
- You may have seen water condensing.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Condensing is an exothermic process in which a gas turns into a liquid.
About Condensing
- Condensing is a reversible process. When a gas condenses into a liquid you can evaporate that liquid back into a gas.
- Cooling a gas will cause it to condense into a liquid.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Condensing is an exothermic physical change in which a gas turns into a liquid.
About Condensing
- Condensing happens when the particles in a gas form bonds holding them together as they lose potential energy.
- The temperature at which a substance condenses is the same as the temperature at which it boils so it is the boiling point.
- Condensing is an exothermic process, which means it emits energy when it takes place.
- Condensing is a physical change, which means it is reversible and does not produce new chemicals.
