How do you get the salt to stick onto walls and ceilings?

You could get salt to stick onto walls and ceilings by mixing the salt with paint or glue. Salt mixed with paint or glue will adhere to ceilings and to walls with very little effort.


How will you show that your breath contians moisture?

You could exhale onto a mirror. The moisture in your breathe condenses on the mirror to form the "fog" that you see. Be quick though because the condensations evaporates very quickly. You can get a similar effect by taking a very warm shower, with nowhere to escape, the steam condenses on the mirrors or tile i your bathroom, and makes it moist or "foggy".


What happens if you pour liquid nitrogen into a volcano?

Not a lot, most volcanoes have solidified on the surface so there is no open lava at the surface. It would be pouring liquid nitrogen onto rock which would not do much at all. Even if there were some lava on the surface pouring liquid nitrogen onto it would just accelerate the cooling and solidifying into rocks dependent on what type of lava it is.


How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling of a liquid?

The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil the liquid


Why does moisture condense on the outside of a glass of cold water?

That is called 'condensation'. It is the result of water vapor molecules in the atmosphere coming in contact with a colder environment. The vapor molecules begin to clump together as their electron activity slows and they coalesce as moisture on the side of the glass. The opposite activity is called 'evaporation'.

What happens to water when it condenses?

Water can't condense. Condensation is about something turning from a gas to a liquid. Once it has become a liquid it can't be come liquid-er.


How does vapor change to liquid?

It condenses, this is what happens when the particles in a gas cool down. If you breath onto a piece of glass you can see a small amount of condensation


What condenses to form clouds?

Water condenses onto aerosols in the air to create clouds.


What is the process called when water vapor in the air changes to liquid water?

Condensation.Related Information:For water vapor to become liquid water, it must loose energy, molecule by molecule. Often this occurs when water vapor contacts a cooler surface. In the atmosphere, water vapor condenses onto a small, cooler particle to form a very small droplet of liquid water, or condenses onto an existing droplet of water making it larger.


What is the process of clouds forming when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water?

condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)


What happens when water in the air condenses onto tiny pieces of?

What happens when steam condenses onto your hand?

It will make your hand wet


What happens to water vapor when it cools then condenses around dust and salt?

When water vapor condenses around dust particles a cloud is formed


Is there liquid anything on Mars?

Not that we know of. The "air" pressure on Mars is so low that water cannot exist in the liquid state; it will be either a gas or a solid. We know that there is some water on Mars; at night, the water vapor condenses as frost onto solid surfaces, such as rocks or spacecraft.


What happen when water vapor condenses onto blades of grass?

It is then called Dew Point.


If there is 'nothing' in a vacuum chamber then why doesn't it collapse onto itself?

Assuming that outside the vacuum chamber there is some gas or liquid, then indeed there is a force that pushes on the walls to collapse. If it doesn't collapse, that means the walls are strong enough to withstand that force: weak walls would collapse.


What happen to the water vapor when it cools?

when water vapor cools a process called condensation occurs. It happens on a cold surface where the water vapor cools and condenses to form water on the cold surface. A common example of this is breathing onto a window and it fogs up.
