The super cooling of water into droplets is described for the scenario below

2.
Ice particles and super cooled water droplets exist in the same cloud at a temperature if T = 260 K. The water vapor pressure in the cloud is P h2o = 2.50mb. I have to develop an argument that shows the liquid droplets will tend to evaporate and the ice particles will tend to grow.
