Does water condense when it is boiling?

Yes, water can condense while boiling, particularly at the surface of the liquid or on cooler surfaces nearby. When water boils, it turns into steam (water vapor), and if this vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface, it can lose energy and condense back into liquid water. This is often observed as droplets forming on the sides of a pot or lid during boiling.


What is a liquid that condenses on glass when you breath on it?

The liquid that condenses on glass when you breathe on it is water. The water is a condensate, and the cooler glass causes water in air we exhale to cool and condense.


What would happen to the water temperature in the surface zone if convection currents did not form there?

If convection currents did not form in the surface zone of a body of water, the water temperature would likely become more stratified and less uniform. Warmer water would remain at the surface, while cooler water would settle below, leading to reduced mixing. This could result in localized areas of warmer or cooler temperatures, negatively impacting aquatic life and nutrient distribution. Overall, the absence of convection currents would disrupt the natural thermal balance of the water.


Why is misty fogs form when water boils?

Misty fogs form when water boils because the hot water vapor comes into contact with cooler air, causing it to condense into tiny water droplets that we see as mist. This process occurs when the warm air, saturated with water vapor, meets a cooler surface, leading to condensation and the formation of mist.


How is fog formed on the earth's surface?

Fog forms when the air near the ground cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets. This process can occur when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface or when the air cools at night.

Can water vapour condense onto a cooler water droplet?

Yes, water vapor can condense onto a cooler water droplet because condensation occurs when water vapor loses heat energy and changes back into liquid form upon contacting a cooler surface. This process can be observed in the formation of clouds or fog when water droplets in the air cool down and collect water vapor.


Can water vapour condense on tree?

Yes, water vapor can condense on trees when the temperature of the tree surface is cooler than the dew point temperature of the air. This can happen during cool nights or when trees are shaded from the sun. The condensed water droplets appear as dew on the tree's surface.


If cold air mixes with air that has a lot of water vapor what will happen to the water vapor?

It may condense into clouds, or into precipitation, because cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air.


Does warmer water have less oxygen compared to cooler water?

Yes, warmer water generally has less oxygen compared to cooler water because oxygen dissolves more easily in cooler water.


When water changes to ice does the air get cooler or warmer?

cooler


Does breathing on a mirror shows that gases condense?

Yes, when you breathe on a mirror, the warm water vapor in your breath condenses on the cooler mirror surface, causing it to fog up. This is an example of condensation where a gas (water vapor) turns into a liquid (water droplets) upon contact with a cooler surface.


Why water in pond feels warmer at its surface but cooler from below in summer?

During summer, the sun heats the surface of the pond more quickly than the deeper layers due to direct sunlight exposure. This results in the surface water feeling warmer. Conversely, the deeper layers of the pond remain cooler as they are not in direct contact with the sun's heat, creating a temperature difference between the surface and the bottom.


Why the bottom of a pond is cooler than the top during a hot summer?

The sun heats the water surface. Warm water has a lighter density than cold water so the warmer water floats on the surface of the colder water.


When water cools and changes to ice does the surrounding air get cooler and warmer?

cooler


What happen when we boil water and expose the steam to a cold surface?

When we boil water and expose the steam (water vapor) to a cold surface, it will condense into tiny drops of water on the cold surface. If you can see the 'steam'rising above the water, it has already condensed into tiny droplets of water in the cool air.


Why bottom of the pond is cooler than the top during a hot summer day?

The sun heats the water surface. Warm water has a lighter density than cold water so the warmer water floats on the surface of the colder water.
