Why does the mirror in the bath room gets foggy after you take a hot shower?

Condensation. Warm steam hits the cold mirror and the steam vapors turn back into a liquid as they are cooled. Usually gravity makes the water run down the mirror, but if it's light enough it'll stay in its position, once enough steam is converted, a droplet will form and roll down the mirror - it dissipates when the room temperature cools enough.
The general 'states' are
Solid > Liquid > Gas
Gas > Liquid > Solid
Of course, there are non-Newtonian states as well but you don't need to know that. But if you want to read up on it, Google is your friend.

What are the properties of images that a concave mirror can produce?
there is an imaginary point in front of the concave mirror, called the focal point or focus, which is half the length of the radius of the sphere of which the mirror was a part of(radius of curvature). usually an object if seen in between the mirror and focus gets magnified, beyond the focus, it gets inverted and reduced.
What location does the image approach as the object gets arbitrarily far away from the mirror?
Half the radius of the mirror, also known as the focal point.

Can a mirror be a opaque object?
Great question! A mirror can be called as opaque. Because as a whole, it does not allow light to pass through it..Defn of opaque objects: Impervious to the rays of light.A mirror is actually a thin glass slab with its one side coated with silver. So when the rays fall on the mirror, it first falls on the upper face of the glass slab, gets refracted, travels through it, gets reflected by silver, travels back through glass slab, gets refracted at the upper glass-air interface and comes out.So here light actually "passes through" one of the parts of mirror- the glass slab(the other one being the silver coating).But when you say mirror, you consider the object as a whole and not by parts... AND as a whole it does not allow light to pass through it. Therefore, you can very well call it opaque!!
