Condensation is the change in matter of a substance to a denser
phase, such as a gas (or vapor) to a liquid. Condensation commonly
occurs when a vapor is cooled to a liquid, but can also occur if a
vapor is compressed (i.e., pressure on it increased) into a liquid,
or undergoes a combination of cooling and compression. It is often
helpful to allow iced tea to cool to room temperature before
refrigerating it to prevent the formation of condensates, which may
give the tea a cloudy appearance, and a chalky taste. Warm tea may
be poured over ice to chill it (if filtered water is used, the tea
may not cloud at all, and flavor is usually unaffected), but
prolonged storage in a refrigerator may still render the tea cloudy
in any conditions.

Asked in Snow and Ice
How does ice turn in to water?
when the temperature around the ice gets warmer, it melts it.
When you put ice in water, the water is actually warmer than ice
(hence the ice to cool it off) and the ice naturally melts because
it is submerged in the lower temperature.

Asked in Science, Chemistry, Snow and Ice, Desserts, Snacks, and Treats
Why do you put salt on the ice?
When making ice cream and such, you salt the ice in the exterior
barrel. This helps keep the ice slushy and moving freely.
Otherwise, the barrel would become difficult to turn as the ice
would be freezing together and sticking.
