Is mist forming on a mirror endothermic or exothermic?

The creation of "mist" or steam (condensation) from water is exothermic but the mirror is not experiencing any kind of chemical reaction.


What physical property happens when a mirror fogs?

The physical change is just water vapor condensing. (hope this helps) :~)


Is breaking a mirror a result of a product with chemical properties?

Any link between the breaking of a mirror and the chemical properties of a product.


Why does a mirror get moist if a room's temperature is high?

If you turn up the heat in a room, that won't necessarily cause condensation to form on mirrors in the room. The formation of tiny water droplets on the mirror depends upon how humid the air is to begin with, what the temperature of the glass is compared to the nearby air, and how clean or dirty the glass is. (Condensation has a hard time forming on clean glass.) If the room heated up very quickly, much faster than the mirror, then condensation could form on the glass. If you happen to bring a cold mirror into a warm, humid room, then condensation will form on the mirror. Or if you introduce steam or water vapor into a room, as when you turn on the hot water in the shower, condensation may form on the mirrors in the bathroom. In both cases, the condensation forms not because the temperature in the room is high but because the temperature of the air close to the glass is much cooler than the air in the rest of the room. Since cool air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, the water vapor precipitates out of the air and forms microscopic liquid water droplets on tiny pieces of dust on the glass.


Which change of state is the opposite of boiling?

the melting point Melting is the opposite of freezing. Condensation is the opposite of boiling.

Is breaking a mirror an action with new chemical properties?

No. After breaking the mirror, the chemical properties of the remaining pieces are the same as the intact mirror. This is a physical change, not a chemical change.

Is breaking a mirror a chemical property?

No, thats a physical property because it can't be reversed and there is no actually chemical change.


Does breaking a mirror cause a change of chemical properties?

Breaking a mirror does not cause a change in the chemical properties of the mirror itself. The act of breaking the mirror may result in physical changes, such as the mirror's fragments having sharp edges, but the chemical composition of the mirror remains the same. Mirrors are typically made of a layer of reflective material, like silver or aluminum, which is deposited on the glass surface, and breaking the mirror does not alter this composition.

How can you make condensation using mirrors?

Hold a cold mirror close to your mouth, slowly blow your breath across the mirror. Where the mirror fogs up, that is the moisture in your breath condensing on the mirror.
