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.

What happens to a glass filled half way with water and then ice cubes are added?

As the ice cubes are added to the glass, they displace the water that was already in the glass. The level of water in the glass will rise slightly due to the displacement caused by the ice cubes, but the total volume of water and ice combined will remain the same as before the ice cubes were added.


The rate of ice cubes melting in water?

The rate at which ice cubes melt in water depends on factors such as the temperature of the water, the size and shape of the ice cubes, and the amount of agitation in the water. Generally, smaller ice cubes will melt faster than larger ones due to their increased surface area exposed to the water. Warmer water will also cause ice cubes to melt more quickly compared to colder water.


What is the scientific process that happens to floating ice cubes after they are added to water?

When ice cubes are added to water, they melt due to the transfer of heat energy from the water to the ice. This causes the ice to change state from a solid to a liquid. As the ice melts, it raises the temperature of the water until both reach thermal equilibrium.


What would be the temperature of water at room temperature after 4 ice cubes are added in and melted after 2 hours?

Room temperature


Why does water became cold when you add some ice cubes to it?

Adding ice cubes to water causes the ice cubes to melt due to the higher temperature of the water transferring heat to the ice. This process requires energy in the form of heat, which is taken from the surrounding water, resulting in a decrease in temperature and making the water colder.

What will happen to the temperature of the ice cubes if they are placed into a glass of water at room temperature?

Over time, the ice cubes will melt and become one with the water, which will be slightly colder. Also, the water will not overflow.


What happens if iced cubes is added to water?

It melts slowly.


Do salt water ice cubes take longer to melt than fresh water ice cubes?

Yes, salt water ice cubes melt more slowly than fresh water ice cubes because the addition of salt lowers the freezing point of water, requiring more energy to melt. This makes the salt water ice cubes colder and more resistant to melting.

How is it possible for water to get even colder when salt is added to it?

Salt changes (lowers) the freezing point.


What happens when water changes from 80 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius?

water will become colder


Why does water become more dense in polar regions?

Because the water gets colder isn't that obvious!
