Answer: When you leave a glass of water uncovered for 2 days, carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with it causing the pH to lower, therefore worsening the taste (quality). Also, there will most likely be bacteria and dust floating around in it. Some of the water will eventually evaporate and turn into a gas called water vapor, therefore decreasing the amount of water in the glass (quantity).

Explanation: Hope this helps!
