Question

what effect does condensation on a glass of ice water have on the rate at which the ice melts? Will the condensation speed up the melting process or slow it down?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When water droplet condenses on the outer wall of glass of ice , it releases heat equal to mass x latent heat of condensation of water . This heat reaches the ice melting inside  glass . Due to this heat , the melting process is accelerated .

Hence the process of melting gets accelerated when water droplet condenses on the outer wall of glass containing mixture of ice and water .
