Question

open ended questions: answer the following questions in complete sentences: 16. explain how condensation is demonstrated at home using a pot of boiling water and a cold lid.

Explanation:

When water boils, it turns into water vapor (gas). The cold lid is at a lower temperature. The water vapor rises and touches the cold lid. The cold temperature of the lid causes the water vapor to lose heat. As a result, the water vapor changes its state from gas to liquid (condensation), and water droplets form on the underside of the lid.

Answer:

When water boils, it becomes water vapor. The cold lid cools the vapor, causing it to condense into liquid water droplets on the lid.
