Why Is Condensation a Warming Process? What Does Condensation Warm

Multiple Choice

Why is condensation a warming process? What does condensation warm?

A) Condensation transfers slower, lower kinetic energy vapor molecules to the liquid state, thus raising the overall temperature of both the gas and liquid molecules in the process.
B) Condensation transfers the faster, higher kinetic energy vapor molecules to the liquid state, thus imparting the excess energy to the liquid and raising its temperature.
C) From a kinetic energy standpoint, we refer to condensation as a warming process. However, only the vapor molecules are losing energy and imparting that energy to the liquid, so only the liquid is warmed.
D) Condensation cools the vapor and warms the liquid phase. Since the process is always defined by the product, condensation is called a warming process.
