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.

What happen to a mirror when you hold in steam?

When you hold a mirror in steam, the mirror's surface becomes fogged up due to the condensation of water vapor. This occurs because the steam contains water droplets that stick to the mirror's cooler surface, creating a thin layer of liquid that obstructs reflection.


Formed as a liquid when steam meets a cold surface?

Condensation occurs when steam comes into contact with a cold surface, causing it to lose heat energy and transform into liquid water. This process is the opposite of evaporation, where liquid water turns into steam by gaining heat energy.


If water is boiled will it turn into water vapor or steam?

When you boil water, a lot of air-bubbles appears on the surface. it is the water turning into steam.


How are water droplets formed when salt sand and water are boiled together?

Filter the sand, salt, water mixture to remove the sand. Then boil the salty water to produce steam (water vapour). Then condense the steam onto a cold surface, fresh water droplets will form on the cold surface. If the steam is captured in a condenser, the steam will return to fresh water.


What happens when steam hits a cold surface?

It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.


What happens when steam in the bathroom hits a cold surface like a miror?

When steam in the bathroom hits a cold surface like a mirror, it condenses into water droplets. This is because the cold surface causes the steam to lose heat energy, changing it back into liquid water.


Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?

Evaporation occur at the surface of water.


What disasters happen to water when a volcano erupts?

What creates steam?

Steam is created when water is heated to its boiling point, causing it to evaporate into a gaseous state. This can happen in various ways, such as boiling water on a stove or heating water in a boiler.


In order for water as steam to become water as liquid it has to?

undergo the process of condensation. This occurs when the water vapor cools and loses energy, causing the molecules to come together and form liquid water droplets. Condensation can happen when steam comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as when steam from a shower condenses on a bathroom mirror.


Why you selecting surface condenser?

Surface condensers are used exclusively to condense steam in thermal power plants. The coolant used for condensing this steam is generally water.


What happens to the particles when steam condenses onto a cold mirror?

When steam condenses onto a cold mirror, the water vapor in the steam loses energy to the cold surface of the mirror. This causes the water vapor to change phase from gas to liquid, forming water droplets on the mirror's surface.
