A gas is changing to a liquid. Namely evaporated water (such as steam from a shower) is coming into contact with the cooler mirror and turning back into liquid water.

Fogging a mirror with your breath?
When a person fogs a mirror with their breath it is a physical change.
Can condensation form on dust particles?
Yes. And this is the cause of fogs. Fogs are just dust particles on which water is present. There are no fogs in America as it does not have dust particles.
What is the plural of fog?
Fogs is the proper plural form of fog. However, fog is also commonly accepted as a standing plurality of its root on its own and is used more frequently than fogs.
Explain why a bathroom mirror fogs up when you take a hot shower or bath?
When that happens, condensation is occurring. Condensation turns a gas in to a liquid. In this case the gas is the water vapor. When the cold mirror cools the water vapor and when the water vapor and the air next to the mirror becomes cool enough, it then changes to a gas into a liquid. That's why it becomes wet and fogged up.Is this something I can put on the mirrors to keep them from fogging up when I'm taking the shower The mirror becomes fogged due to the moisture that accumulates in the air due to the heat of the water. Soon it reaches dew point and condenses on cooler surfaces such as the mirror or window causing water to form.The hot water evaporates into steam. When the steam hits the cold surface of the mirror, it forms condensation. The condensation is what you see as the fog.Improvement.Steam is water in its gaseous phase, and is (like most gases) invisible. Steam only exists above the boiling point of water, so being immersed in true steam would cause near-instant death.What you see in the bathroom with a hot shower is fog: microscopically small droplets of liquid water.These will readily condense on any cool surface, but condensation on a shiny, smooth surface (the mirror) is the most noticeable.If you run your hand over a marble or laminated benchtop, you'll be able to see the track left behind in the water film.
How do you explain prediction in an easy way?
Prediction is more than a guess, it's an educated guess based on other facts you have learned. Some of this learning has been informal through experience, and other learning has been formal through schooling. Think back to the very first time you knew that adding ice to a beverage made the liquid cold. Or the first time you understood that heat on one side of glass and cold on the other side fogs up a window. Or the first time you realized Rock Salt melts ice. Don't worry--most of us don't recall making these realizations for the first time! But experiences like those help us to logically make predictions about the behavior or results on people, plants, objects, and even things we have never witnessed or experienced. like earth's atmosphere, or the solar system. For example, you know earth has gravity and if you drop something, it falls to the floor or ground. You've learned outer space has no gravity and objects are weightless. You understand while a car's engine lets it move forward or backward along a road, airplane engines keep a plane up in the air and moving only forward. So if a car engine breaks, the car is already on the ground, but a plane will fall from the sky without engines. Each piece of knowledge like these gives you predictive abilities when doing a small experiment. Prediction implies trial and error-- you predict, test, and see if you were right---or discover / predict why you were wrong. Some experiments mean we aren't as good at predicting--such as, will a tomato seed grow if we replaced the water with milk, juice, sugar water, or salt water. But each time we "experiment" (not just in school but in real life), we develop our "predictive abilities" and make better predictions. We also learn to reason our reasons-- to be able to make a prediction AND give logical reasons for why we think something will or won't work the way we predict. Prediction therefore can be both what will or what will not happen, or just one. For example, your younger brother states milk will make a tomato seed grow-- after all, he knows milk is good for people. But you learned milk has things that don't let seeds grow and not enough of what a seed does need. So you disagree with your brother. The fun part, though, is testing out our predictions---just in case we might be wrong-- or to prove we were right!
What physical property happens when a mirror fogs?
The physical change is just water vapor condensing. (hope this helps) :~)
Fogging a mirror with your breath?
When a person fogs a mirror with their breath it is a physical change.
When you have a cold shower does the bathroom mirror fog up?
No. The steam from a hot shower fogs the mirror.
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.
Why a hot shower fogs up a bathroom mirror?
the heat from the shower causes it to fog and if ur window for the bathroom is small then it takes a while for the air to escape causing the smoke to become traped to your mirror like if u blow your breath towards the mirror then it fogs and also not only your mirror gets foggy but also the floor or wall.thank u very much
When was FOGS Colts Challenge created?
FOGS Colts Challenge was created in 1986.
Can condensation form on dust particles?
Yes. And this is the cause of fogs. Fogs are just dust particles on which water is present. There are no fogs in America as it does not have dust particles.
Are fogs cool?
no
What is it called when a mirror fogs up?
Actually, everything fogs up. You just can see it better on the mirror. When you take a hot shower, it produces steam and this steam will rise in the room and then cool off and descend to the ground. As it moves, it sticks to all solid surfaces, the walls, cieling, the sink, the toilet, etc., leaving a layer of moisture on everything. Its just more evident on the mirror or a window.
what fogs size?
37cm
Is there any test to identify presence of serotonin presence in brain?
Yes: shove a mirror under the person's nose and see if it fogs up. If it does, there's definitely serotonin present in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter; if there wasn't any of it in the brain, the person would not be alive (and hence not breathing to fog up the mirror).
Is fog a collid?
why are fogs a collide
