Why is there water on a cold water bottle?
Warm air can hold more moisture (humidity) than cool air. Therefore, when the air cools off and the amount of moisture in the air is too high, some water separates out from the air. This is why dew falls on a cool summer night or we get a frost some winter evenings. The water bottle example is the same process, but smaller scale. The air cools off right next to the cold bottle, and cannot hold as much humidity. So, like dew on the ground, you get condensation ("sweat") on the outside of your water bottle.
When a bottle is cold why does the outside get wet after you leave it for a while?
This is due to condensation. The cold surface of the bottle condenses the water vapor in the air (humidity) into liquid water.
Does freezing a water bottle make the outside of it wet?
Not exactly.The water that appears on the outside of the icy bottle is condensation of the water vapor in the air around the bottle. The cold temperature of the ice in the bottle causes the condensation. There are lots of water molecules in air -- there is more water in the air on a humid day then on a hot dry day, but there is always some water in the air. When air is cooled by coming in contact with the icy bottle, it condenses, and goes from being a gas to being a liquid (just like how steam turns back into water when it cools). It is the condensed water from the air that makes the outside of the bottle wet.If a cold bottle was in air that had no water vapor in it (unlikely except in a laboratory), then it would not get wet.
How can I efficiently cool down a room using a water bottle air conditioner?
To efficiently cool down a room using a water bottle air conditioner, fill the water bottle with cold water and ice, then place it in front of a fan. The fan will blow air over the cold water, creating a cooling effect in the room.
Why do water droplets form outside the bottle?
Condensation - The surface of the bottle and the air just above it will be cool enough to allow condensation of the water vapor in the air onto the bottle's surface.
What happened to the bubble when you placed the bottle in cold water?
When the bottle was placed in cold water, the air inside the bottle cooled down and contracted, causing the bubble to shrink or collapse. The decrease in temperature led to a decrease in the volume of air in the bottle, making the bubble appear smaller or disappear.
Why does the water vapour surround the cold water bottle?
The water in the bottle is much colder than the air surrounding it, so the bottle cools the air immediately surrounding it through conduction. This causes the air to cool to its dew point, whereupon some of the moisture in the air will condense onto the bottle.
How do crush a bottle with ice and cold water?
As the water inside the bottle cools it uses less air pressure than the cool air outside. The results are crushing.
Why do we get dew on the surface of a cold soft drink bottle kept in air?
Moisture in the air condenses on the cold bottle. If the air is dry, there will be no dew on the bottle.
How could you use a bottle taken from the fridge to show there is water vapor in the air?
Leave it on the side to warm up, and condensation will form on the inside- little water droplets. As you haven't messed with the bottle at all (ie added anything to it) it should bepure air and therefore shows there is water vapour in the air.
Does cold air take up more space than hot air?
No, hot air takes up more space than cold air. When matter is heated, it expands, when it is chilled, it contracts (water is an exception, as ice crystals expand from liquid water). To prove this, take an empty water bottle and shove it in the freezer for an hour or so. When taken out, the air inside the bottle will be cold. If you wrap a balloon around the bottle's opening, you will trap the cold air inside the bottle. Now, pour some hot water over the bottle, heating it, and the air inside (be careful). As the air warms, it will expand, and therefore take up more room. Since the bottle is a confined space, the balloon over the bottle's mouth will inflate slightly to give somewhere for the expanded air to go.
Why is moisture deposited on the outside of a glass bottle containing very cold water?
Moisture is deposited on the outside of a glass bottle containing very cold water due to condensation. When warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the bottle, the temperature of the air decreases, causing the water vapor in the air to cool and condense into liquid droplets. This occurs because the cold surface reduces the air's capacity to hold moisture, leading to the formation of visible water droplets on the glass.
