Question

Which of the following is true regarding phase changes? A. Melting is the reverse of deposition. B. Sublimation is the same as boiling. C. Condensation is the reverse of evaporation. D. Freezing is the same as sublimation.

Answer 1

C) Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.

Condensation is the phase when water droplet form. Ex) When you have a glass of ice water the water droplets on the outside of the glass are condensation.

Evaporation is when a liquid heats up and turns into a steam or mist. Ex) When you boil water the steam that comes up from the pot is actually water!!

Therefore condensation is caused by cold temperatures, and evaporation is caused by hot temperatures.
