Condensation Lab

Investigate how temperature changes create water droplets!

Experiment Setup

Water
No condensation detected.
Water Temperature 25°C
Ice Cold (5°C) Very Hot (80°C)
Room Temperature 25°C
Cool AC (15°C) Warm Day (40°C)
Lid Option

Cover the glass with a lid to trap water vapour.

Lid Position:

What is happening?

Both temperatures are equal. There is no active condensation taking place.

1. You have set the water to be very cold (5°C) and the room is warm (30°C). Where will the water droplets form?
2. During the process of condensation, does water vapour gain heat or lose heat?
3. If the water temperature and the room temperature are exactly the same, why does condensation NOT form?
