Question

What is the condensation point of water?
a.) $100^\circ F$
b.) $212^\circ F$
c.) $0^\circ C$
d.) $0^\circ F$

Answer 1

Hint: Try to recall that condensation is the route by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. For any given temperature of air, there is a maximum value of water vapor that air can contain and the condensation point of water is the same as the boiling point. Now by using this you can easily answer the given question.

Complete answer:
It is known to you that condensation is the process of bringing things close together, making the arrangement denser.
It is a physical change from gaseous form to liquid form, with association of temperature.
When water is heated it gets converted into water vapor from the heat provided and when this water vapor is collected in a closed container then due to change in temperature the water vapors changes to water droplets where there is change in physical form from gaseous to liquid state.
It is known to you that for any substance, the condensation point is the same as the boiling point and the boiling point of water is 100 degree Celsius. So, the condensation point of water is $100^\circ C$.
To convert degree Celsius into Fahrenheit :
It is known that, $F = (1.8) \times C + 32$ where, C is temperature in Celsius and F is temperature in Fahrenheit.
So, $100C = (1.8)(100) + 32$
                 $ = 212^\circ F$.

Therefore, from the above calculation we can say that option B is the correct option to the given question.
Note: It should be remembered to you that as air cools, its ability to hold water vapor is decreased and the consequence of this natural phenomenon is that when saturated air is cooled even by a small amount, it cannot hold the same amount of water vapor so some of this condenses and turns to liquid water.
