Solution

Liquefaction Condensation
1. Liquefaction refers to the change of phase from a gas to a liquid
1. Condensation refers to the change of phase from a gas to either a liquid or a solid.
2. In the liquefaction of gas, both pressure and temperature factors are responsible.
2. In condensation, the only temperature of a gas varies no change in pressure occurs.
3. Liquefaction occurs both naturally and artificially.
3. Condensation most of the time occurs naturally.
4. For example, the Liquefaction of gases like oxygen, and hydrogen is done before filling in the cylinder by applying high pressure and lowering their temperature.
4. For example, Condensation of water molecules present in the air over a bottle having cold water.
