When hot water is exposed to cold air, it cools down and loses heat energy. This causes the water molecules to slow down and come closer together, eventually leading to the formation of steam or mist as the water evaporates.

How does boiling water behave in cold air?

When boiling water is exposed to cold air, it cools down quickly and starts to condense into steam. The steam may appear as fog or mist as it interacts with the cold air.


Why a glass of cold water perspires with water drop when exposed to air?

Condensation of water vapour in the atmosphere into water droplets on the surface. The surrounding air contains water vapour. When the air touches the glass it becomes cooler and can no longer contain so much water, so it condenses out onto the glass.


What is happening when water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of water?

The air has moisture (water dissolved in the air). The amount of air that can be carried in the air depends on the temperature. Warmer air can hold more water in it than cold air. When the cold glass is exposed to the air, the air touching the glass gets cold, is no longer able to hold as much water and the water in the air condenses (comes out of solution) on to the outside of the glass.


Can a balloon pop when in cold water?

Yes, a balloon can pop when exposed to cold water. The decrease in temperature causes the air inside the balloon to contract, creating more pressure on the balloon walls which can lead to it bursting.


What process will cause droplets of water to form the outside of a very cold glass?

When a cold glass is exposed to warm, humid air, it causes the water vapor in the air to condense and form droplets on the outside of the glass. This is because the cold glass surface reduces the temperature of the air around it, causing the water vapor to reach its dew point and change from a gas to liquid form.

Why does ice starts freezing from the top?

The water at the top is more exposed to cold air than the water at the bottom of the ice tray.

How can red coloring in the warm water and blue coloring in cold water relate this to air masses and weather?

This is a good experiment to demonstrate how air masses move. Both, air and water, behave in similar ways. It's called 'fluid dynamics'.Warm water is less dense than cold water, so will rise above, or float over, colder water. By colouring the different temperature water, you can actually see how they behave before finally mixing and becoming one temperature.Different temperature air masses behave in exactly the same way and seeing how water behaves will also show how air masses can affect weather patterns.

Does cold air kill roaches?

Yes, cold air can kill roaches, but it takes a prolonged period of being exposed to cold air to also kill the egg cases.


Why does the quantity of water decrease in a tumbler when it is exposed to air for a long time?

When water is exposed to air at ordinary temperature and humidity it evaporates. That is, molecules of water leave the liquid and mix with the air.
