Does the surrounding air become warmer or cool when vapor phase of H2O Condenses? Explain.
When the vapor phase of H2O Condenses it transfers its energy to the surface upon which it condenses hence their kinetic energy is reduced and the difference in the kinetic energy is transferred to the vessel upon which they condense. Now as the kinetic energy of the vapor reduces it leads to a reduction in their temperature along with that of the surroundings. Hence, the surrounding air becomes cooler when vapor phase of H2O condenses.
