Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?

The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.


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.


Why does a cold glass of water leave a ring on the table?

A glass of cold water leaves a wet ring on the table because the heat energy from the outside and the cold glass of water inside the cup then it begins to drip Yea its a little confusing i don't know how to explain it very well


Why do water droplets from outside of a glass of water?

If warm moist air comes into contact with the cold outer surface of a glass of water, condensation takes place.


How do you convert water vapour to water?

Cool it down, for example by using a piece of cold glass

Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?

It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water


Can you make a rain cloud inside a water glass?

yes you need water (hot and cold) ice cubes a glass 2 lids ( one that fits the glass one bigger than the glass) and then you look it up and make one ive done it b4


If you throw a glass of water into the air when it is extremely cold can it freeze before it hits the ground?

In most conditions, no. Assuming you have the glass of water sitting at the same temperature as the outside environment, if the external temperature is low enough to be below freezing temperature (0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit) then the water in the glass would already be frozen before it was thrown. However, let's assume the water is in an above-freezing environment, then quickly taken into a below-freezing environment, and thrown from the glass before it can freeze inside the glass. I've seen videos of this happening, and the flying water particles do indeed freeze in mid-air, however since the water is so dispersed in the air it doesn't turn into a chunk of ice like you might expect, instead it turns into something resembling snow as it's thrown and flutters out in a cloud. From what I hear, for this to happen it needs to be somewhere around -50 Fahrenheit.


What is the temperature of a glass of cold water?

it depends how cold it is


What happens when warm water makes a cold glass crack?

When warm water makes a cold glass crack it contracts.


Which water should be cold and cold when doing a old remedy for a pair of nested drinking glasses?

Put cold water inside the glasses. Dip the outer glass into hot water. The outer glass expands, the inner glass contracts.


What happens when salt water is poured into the glass containing cold tap water?

When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the salt water will collect and settle at the bottom of the glass. This is due to the salinity and density of the salt water.


Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?

This is condensation.

How can the formation of water droplets on the outside of a cold glass on a hot day serve as a model for cloud formation?

As the moist air rises, water vapor condenses and clouds form. Clouds are made of tiny droplets of liquid water or ice.
