Question

v) Explain the following:
How can you relate the formation of water droplets on the outer surface
of a bottle taken out of a refrigerator with formation of dew?​

Answer 1

Answer ⬇️

At a given temperature, there is a limit on how much water vapour the given volume of air can hold. The lower the temperature, of the lower is the capacity of air to hold water vapour.

The temperature of a bottle kept in a refrigerator is lower than a room temperature. Hence, when the bottle is taken out of the refrigerator, the temperature of the air surrounding the bottle is lowered. Therefore, the capacity of the air to hold water vapour becomes less. Hence, the excess water vapour condenses to form water droplets (like dew) on the outer surface of the bottle.
