Hello everyone
I'm just wondering why is cooling considered to slow reactions. I mean f you want condensation heating would slow the reaction. I like to know exactly how condensation occur at molecular level. I know when you heat gas it expands. So when you cool a gas does it contract, and where does the energy for change phase from gas to liquid come from. Does cooling provide energy too like heat. Why is that when cooling in this case there is not much kinetic energy but a reaction (condensation) takes place. Your help would much appreciated thanks!
