Question
What happens when a refrigerant is compressed and condensed?
Question 16 options:
A)
It vaporizes, so it can escape to the outside air.
B)
It remains a gas but takes heat from the outside air.
C)
The pressure on it decreases, so it can exchange heat with the outside air.
D)
It condenses back into a liquid, giving up heat to the outside air.

When a refrigerant is compressed, it increases in pressure and temperature. When it is then condensed, it releases heat to the surroundings as it changes from a gas to a liquid.
Thus, the correct answer is:
**D) It condenses back into a liquid, giving up heat to the outside air.**
Thus, the correct answer is:
**D) It condenses back into a liquid, giving up heat to the outside air.**
