Explain the process of condensation with respect to kinetic molecular theory?

Open in App

Solution

Condensation: It is defined as the process of conversion of water vapor in the air into a liquid state.
Process of condensation with respect to kinetic molecular theory:
The removal of heat from the gas results in a decrease in the kinetic energy of the gas.
Kinetic energy: It is the energy that body posses by virtue of being in motion.
Decrease in the kinetic energy of the gas results in decreased speed of molecules of gases.
As the gas particles start moving slowly the intermolecular forces between them increase.
The increase in intermolecular forces results in the conversion of gas to liquid.
Decrease in kinetic energy
