Question

Jerry listed the following processes in his notebook.

1. formation of dew on leaves
2. ice cubes turning to water
3. water drops on the outside of a glass of cold juice
4. clouds form in the air

All BUT ONE is an example of water changing from a gas to a liquid. Which example does not match the phase change?

Answer 1

2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The dew is formed when the water vapor at the atmosphere contacts the leaves, which are at a low temperature, so, the vapor temperature decreases, and the liquid is formed. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

2. Ice cubes are at the solid-state, thus this transformation is solid to a liquid change.

3. The cold juice is at a low temperature, so when the water vapor of the air contacts with the glass, its temperature decreases, and its change to a liquid phase. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

4. The evaporated water from the Earth's surface goes to the atmosphere, and, at high altitudes, the temperature is low, so the water vapor condenses and the drops get closer together forming the clouds. So, it's a gas to a liquid change.
