What are drops of water on the outside of a glass called?
Condensation
What is the technical term for the drops of water outside of a glass?
Condensation
What is example condenstation?
When you have a glass of cold water from the fridge that you take outside, because it's hotter outside, little drops of water will form on the glass.
What would happen if all the items in the room were at dew point temperature?
Water would condense on those items. This is what is happening when you have a glass of ice water, and water collects on the outside of the glass.
When you put ice cubes in juice drops of liquid seem to appear on the outside of the glass what 's this process called?
It's called "condensation"...The glass gets colder than the dewpoint temperature of the air (temperature at which saturation occurs and water vapor turns into liquid water) and therefore water drops form on the cold glass.
How does drops of water get on a cold glass?
Its condensation
Is drops of water that collects on the outside of a iced tea glass on a hot day chemical or physical reaction?
its a physical reaction, called condensation
Can condensation be reversible?
Yes it can. Prove this to yourself by filling glass with ice and water. Water from the air condenses on the outside. Empty the glass and put it back down without wiping the outside (drops still in place) As the glass returns to room temperature the condensed water evaporates back into the air. Evaporation is the opposite of condensation.
Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?
This is condensation.
When drops of water are form on the cloud day what is happening?
Evaporation
When drops of water are form on the cold day what is happening?
sleet
What is happening when water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of water?
The air has moisture (water dissolved in the air). The amount of air that can be carried in the air depends on the temperature. Warmer air can hold more water in it than cold air. When the cold glass is exposed to the air, the air touching the glass gets cold, is no longer able to hold as much water and the water in the air condenses (comes out of solution) on to the outside of the glass.
