Question

Two friends were talking about water in the atmosphere. They wanted to know why a glass of iced tea will get water droplets collected on the outside of the glass.

Maria said: Water leaks through small, porous openings in the glass.

Henry said: I wish my parents hadn't named me Henry. I want to be called "Snake."

Maria said: Okay, Snake. About the water droplets on the side of a glass of iced tea?

Henry said: Oh. That is due to condensation. The coldness of the iced tea makes the water vapor in the atmosphere change phases from gas to liquid.

Maria said: That sounds pretty legit but isn't that process called precipitation?

Who do you agree with more - Henry/Snake or Maria? (write this in the right hand column).

How would you answer Maria's question?

Answer 1

I agree with henry/snake. I will answer Maria's question by saying that it is condensation because of the temperature from outside and the temperature of the liquid if they are opposites then it will cause condensation.
