Question

You decide to do an experiment at home. You take a cup of steaming hot water, and place it in the freezer overnight. When you open the fridge in the morning, you notice there is a lot of ice on the roof of the freezer. Using a particle theory, please explain what happened.

Answer 1

In this experiment, the cup of steaming hot water directly emits a large amount of water vapour which had condensed on the roof of the freezer. These water vapour molecules had condensed to such an extent that they became solidified, i.e; Ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the particle theory:

The higher the temperature, The lower the Intermolecular attraction and vice versa.

These means the low temperature of the Freezer in which the hot cup of water was kept had increased the intensity of the intermolecular attraction between the water vapour molecules
