Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When water condenses, it changes from a gas (water vapor) to a liquid. During this phase change, heat is released, which results in the water vapor molecules losing energy and becoming more tightly packed. Therefore, the correct choice is D, heat is released. Pressure and heat absorption or release are not directly related to the process of water condensing.
