Q1.
Draw a detailed sketch (with labels and caption) about what happens to the water.
Answer
Your sketch must show three things: the hot tawa with the water drops, the vapour rising from them, and the visible white steam formed when part of that vapour turns back into tiny droplets. Label each one and add a caption.
Water sprinkled on a hot tawa takes heat, evaporates into invisible water vapour, and part of that vapour immediately cools and turns into tiny droplets — the white steam we can see.
What your labels should say:
Hot tawa — supplies the heat.
Water drops — the liquid state.
Water vapour — the gaseous state, invisible.
Steam — vapour together with tiny droplets, and therefore visible.
Sample caption: "Water sprinkled on a hot pan takes heat from the pan, changes into invisible water vapour (evaporation), and a part of this vapour cools in the air and turns back into tiny droplets, which we see as white steam."
