Yes ,the higher the temperature gradient between the hot water and room temperature, the faster it cools.
However, that does not mean that hot water will freeze faster than cold water (a common urban legend). If you have water at 50°C in a room at 20°C, it will cool from 50° to 40° faster than it will cool from 40° to 30°.

Which hot or cold water will freeze faster?
It has been proven that hot water freezes faster than cold water.
Does cold water drain faster than hot water?
no hot water will drip faster than cold water.This is because the molecules in hot water move around faster than in cold water. This makes it easier for molecules in hot water to slip right past other
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when in cold water?
Because metal conducts heat faster than wood. The temperature of the water will be carried up to your hand much more efficiently by the metal spoon than a wooden spoon.
Is the speed of sound faster in colder temperatures?
The speed of sound slows in colder temperatures.The speed of sound is dependent on the medium it travels through. It travels faster in steel than water, faster in water than air and not at all in a vacuum.The molecules have more energy at higher temperatures so the sound waves can vibrate the air faster.
Why does a ship sink lower in hot water than in cold?
The ships go lower in hot water because it is less dense than the cold water. The molecules in the cold water are more stationary than in warn water when they are moving faster so it is not as solid.
How do you make water cold?
An easy way to make water cold is to put it in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, adding colder water would make water colder. Actually, adding ice would make this process faster, as it is colder than cold water. And dry ice would make it cold even faster than ice (but dry ice is dangerous- be careful).
What causes sugar to dissolve faster in hot water than cold water?
hot water has faster moving particales than cold water
Which hot or cold water will freeze faster?
It has been proven that hot water freezes faster than cold water.
Why should a cup with warm water spread food dye faster than ice water?
Molecules in warm water are moving faster than those in the colder water.
Will a towel absorb hot water faster than cold water?
Cold water
Why did salt water freeze faster than regular water?
Salt water does not freeze faster than regular water... When salt is put in water, it stops the water from freezing, and it needs to be colder than usual.
Why do substances diffuse faster in hot than in cold temperatures?
In hot water molecule were moving around faster so substances diffuse faster than in cold water.
Does a boat sink in hot warm or cold water faster?
It sinks faster in hot water than warm or cold
Does cold water drain faster than hot water?
no hot water will drip faster than cold water.This is because the molecules in hot water move around faster than in cold water. This makes it easier for molecules in hot water to slip right past other
Why does colder water have a higher density than warmer water?
because warm water has faster moving particles
What is always true when there is an ocean breeze?
When there is a land breeze, that means that the land is colder than the water. This occurs in the colder seasons, mainly winter. That is because water heats and cools slower than land. Therefore in the winter, the land cools faster than the water, and the water is warmer. So, the cold air from the land sinks and blows towards the sea.
Is the freezing point of saltwater warm or cold than plain water?
colder
