Droplets of water form on the outside of a glass when warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool down and reach its dew point, leading to condensation.

Would droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

yes.


Why there is water droplets forming on mirror when blown?

The hot heat from the hot water turns evaporates. Once it reaches or touches a cool surface (mirror), the heat would condense and turn into water droplets. Therefore, water droplets are found in the mirror when you bath.


Why do droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

Water droplets form on the outside of a glass cup when the air around the cup is cooler than the temperature of the water inside. This causes the warm, moist air in the cup to come into contact with the cooler air, leading to condensation and the formation of water droplets on the outside of the cup.

Why would drophlets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

Assuming the glass cup held a cold liquid, the air closest to the cup will be colder than the surrounding air, causing water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.


How many droplets of water in a seven block fog and would this fill a glass half full?

It depends on the size of each water droplet and the density of the fog. It is unlikely that the water droplets in a seven block fog would be enough to fill a half-full glass, as fog droplets are typically very small.


What do you think would happen if the bottom of the glass had a hole in it you submerged it upside down in water?

If the glass has a hole in the bottom and you submerge it upside down in water, the water would enter the glass through the hole until the air pressure inside and outside the glass equalize. Once this happens, the water would stay at a level inside the glass equal to the height of the water outside the glass.


Why are droplets of water that form on a cold glass a physical change?

The formation of water droplets on a cold glass are a physical change because it's nothing more than condensation. The water that is in the air is a gas, and it has undergone a change of state to become a liquid (the droplets). If the water and the glass fused and made another element that could not be made back into either of its two original forms, then it would be a chemical change.


Why does condensation form on a glass of iced tea?

Take a glass of cold water into a warm room, and the moisture in the warm room will condense on to the outside surface of the cold glass. Therefore, the water droplets form due to condensation.


What is a scientific principle concerning a transfer of heat that takes place during the evaporation of liquids?

The latent heat of evaporation - (if you wet your finger and then blow on it it feels cool this is because the evaporating water takes heat out of your finger). This heat is recovered when the liquid re-condenses - (water droplets forming on the outside of a cold glass of beer heat the glass with this recovered energy and the beer in the glass warms up far more quickly than it would if the air was dry).


If you pour yourself a glass of ice water in your kitchen on a cold winter day where the temperature is 25 degrees F outside would you expect to see condensation form on the outside of the glass?

If the glass of ice water remains in the kitchen then yes, the warm humid air of the kitchen will condense water on the side of the cold glass of ice water. If you take the glass outside then no. 25'F is below the freezing point of water so the air will be colder than the glass of ice water which can be no colder than 35'F. Besides this there will be no water in the air as it will have been frozen-out by the cold temperature, so there will be nothing to condense.


When an empty glass is inverted into a tub of water. Why the water does not enter the glass?

The air pressure inside the glass is stronger than the water pressure outside, creating a barrier that prevents the water from entering the glass. This is due to atmospheric pressure pushing down on the surface of the water and keeping it from filling the inverted glass.
