When a cold beverage is placed outside, the gas particles cling to the side of the can and become water droplets. This is due to which change of state?

Question

Group of answer choices

Condensation

Freezing

Melting

Evaporation

Answer 1

The process you are describing, where gas particles (water vapor in the air) cling to the side of a cold beverage can and form water droplets, is due to condensation. When the water vapor cools down as it comes into contact with the cold surface of the can, it changes from a gas to a liquid, resulting in the formation of droplets. So, the correct answer is Condensation.
