Question 2 • Physics

Sara places a cold bottle of water in the sun. After several minutes, she notices that water droplets are collecting on the outside of the bottle. Which change of state does this illustrate?

Answer
A
condensation
B
sublimation
C
vaporization
D
deposition

Explanation

Water vapor in the air cools when it touches the cold bottle and changes from a gas into liquid droplets. This change from gas to liquid is condensation, so the correct choice is condensation. Vaporization is the reverse change, from liquid to gas.
