QUESTION:

Why is vaporization endothermic? Why is condensation exothermic?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

It's important to note that the endothermic or exothermic nature of vaporization and condensation can be influenced by temperature, pressure, and the specific properties of the substance involved. These processes are thermodynamically driven, meaning they depend on the balance between the substance's intermolecular forces and thermal energy.
