kondenzálja
Kondenzálja is a chemical process where a substance in a gaseous state changes into a liquid state. This transformation occurs when the temperature of the gas is lowered to its dew point, or when the pressure is increased, forcing the gas molecules closer together. Common examples include steam from a boiling kettle turning into liquid water on a cooler surface, or the formation of dew on grass during a cool morning. In industrial settings, condensation is often used to separate different substances from a mixture, such as in distillation processes. The reverse of condensation is evaporation or vaporization, where a liquid turns into a gas. The term can also be used in a broader sense to describe the accumulation or gathering of things, not necessarily in a chemical context, although its primary and most frequent usage pertains to physical phase changes. The efficiency of condensation can be influenced by factors like the rate of heat removal and the presence of impurities.
