kondenzációt

Kondenzáció refers to the process where a gas or vapor changes into a liquid. This transformation typically occurs when the temperature of the gas decreases, causing its molecules to lose kinetic energy and come closer together. As the molecules slow down, intermolecular forces become strong enough to hold them in a liquid state.

A common example of condensation is the formation of water droplets on a cold glass on a humid day. The water vapor present in the air cools down upon contact with the cold surface of the glass. This cooling causes the water vapor to change into liquid water, forming visible droplets. Similarly, condensation is responsible for cloud formation in the atmosphere. Water vapor rises, cools at higher altitudes, and condenses into tiny liquid water droplets or ice crystals, which then group together to form clouds.

The reverse process of condensation is evaporation, where a liquid changes into a gas. Condensation is an important part of the water cycle and plays a crucial role in various natural phenomena and industrial processes, such as distillation and refrigeration. The specific conditions under which condensation occurs, such as pressure and the presence of certain substances, can influence the rate and efficiency of the process.
