(1,533 posts)You still have not explained where your fricking condensing water vapor comes from. You are so hung up on the effect seen, and your grandiose thoughts of your own knowledge that you can't accept that to have water vapor, you first have to evaporate water. The air at -15 below has virtually no water vapor. Your magical cloud of condensing water vapor has to come from somewhere, but having expressed an opinion, you can't admit that the water vapor comes from... wait for it... water evaporating.
You can try to hide behind alternate words, but you can't have water vapor in dry air without evaporating water. It would be ridiculously naive to suggest that the small amount of water vapor over the container accounts for the the water vapor that condenses. It would be ridiculous to say that the water simply disappears into thin air.
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to downgrade you to a D-. Don't worry, I'll let you throw out your worst grade and maybe you can make it up on the final.
