because water molecules attach to dust particle. when tiny mass of water has formed on a dust particle, other molecules will join the liquid mass.

The ice cools the water and the container. This causes water to condense on to the surface from the air.

Why do drops of liquid water form on a glass of ice tea?

Condensation.


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.


Why does water drops form on a cold glass?

condensation


When water drops form on cold glass where does the water comes from?

The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.


What are the form of liquid in the sky?

Water appears in the liquid state in the atmosphere in the form of clouds, fog and mist. These consist of millions of tiny drops of liquid water suspended in the air currents. If these collect together as bigger drops they can fall as rain.


When will moisture form faster on glass?

When it is in an environment where there is a high amount of water vapor in the air, and the glass is a low enough temperature to convert the water from its gaseous form to its liquid form, causing the water to condensate on the glass.


The tendency to form liquid drops is more or less in water than it is in ethanole?

Less


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.


How do the parcitles in a ice cube differ form the particles in a glass of water?

they're solid, not liquid


How does a liquid liquid solution form?

A liquid-solid solution is when a liquid turns to a solid. You can tell because if you put a glass of water in the freezer, it will turn to ice (solid).


Why do droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

this is called condensation in the water cycle it forms water droplet because when the liquid turns into gas the particles move and when they spread apart and float away some get stuck on the sides of the glass cup. Then with enough of the gas particles come together turning it into droplets and goes back into water to do it all over again.


Why would drophlets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

Assuming the glass cup held a cold liquid, the air closest to the cup will be colder than the surrounding air, causing water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.
