A glass of cold water leaves a wet ring on the table because the heat energy from the outside and the cold glass of water inside the cup then it begins to drip

Yea its a little confusing i don't know how to explain it very well

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.


What type of energy transfer is it when cold water is poured into a glass in becomes colder?

This is an example of heat transfer from the warm water to the cold glass. The glass absorbs the thermal energy from the water, causing the water to cool down.


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.


Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?

The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.


Why do water droplets from outside of a glass of water?

Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of cold water when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool and reach its dew point. This leads to condensation of water vapor in the air, forming droplets on the outside of the glass.

Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?

It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water


Why when you leave a glass of ice water on the counter water forms on the outside?

Water can exist in three states; as liquid water, as solid ice, and as the gaseous water vapor. In the presence of a cold surface such as the outside of a glass containing ice, vapor in the air will condense into liquid water on the cold outside surface.


What is the temperature of a glass of cold water?

it depends how cold it is


When cold water is poured into a glass the glass becomes colder?

When cold water is poured into a glass, heat energy is transferred from the glass to the water, causing the glass to become colder. The glass loses heat as it transfers it to the colder water until thermal equilibrium is reached.


Which water should be cold and cold when doing a old remedy for a pair of nested drinking glasses?

Put cold water inside the glasses. Dip the outer glass into hot water. The outer glass expands, the inner glass contracts.

How does drops of water get on a cold glass?

Its condensation


Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?

This is condensation.


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.

Why do you see water droplets on outer surface of glass containing ice-cold water?

This is because the air around the tumbler contains water vapour in it. When these water vapour came in contact with the cold, they contact with cold water, loses energy and converted into liquid state, which we see as water droplets.
