A perverse observation is given the name of Mpemba Effect, in which a warm liquid freezes more quickly than a cool one. An on-line encyclopedia should list thehistory and the explanations. The effect is real and repeatable. [The associated story I most like was of the professor's lab assistant being asked for the results of his investigations so far. His response was "So far, sir, the warm liquid has always frozen faster than the cool one, but I will repeat the experiment until I get the right answer.']

Based on the Ideal Gas Law, we would have to know the temperature, pressure, and volume of both the boiling water, cold water, and their surrounding in order to answer this question.

Usually, if they are in the same place, the cold water would freeze first because it would take less energy to lower the temperature of the freezing water to turn it into ice than to lower the temperature of the boiling water to turn it into ice.

Quick answer: it doesn't.

Detailed answer: An object or body of substance cools at a rate proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the surroundings; the exact rate is determined by Newton's law of cooling. See the related questio for a better understanding of that topic.

A hotter object will therefore cool faster. However, it will still have to cover more distance, and when it reaches a low enough temperature, its rate of cooling slows as well. So it may cool faster, but by the time it reaches this point, the cooler liquid will have already reached freezing point. So, the hotter liquid cools faster, but the colderliquid freezes faster.

No.. The boiling point and freezing point does not changes when it is heated.

In this case , as the water is pre-heated , it takes long time to cool and freeze than the

cold water.

The boiling point and freezing point will change by the impurities dissolved in the water.

Water contain impurities. Impurities cause the water t reduce its melting point and increases its boiling point, just like when you place salt on ice... It is much colder. Filtered water does not contain impurities which means it is pure, it freese faster and exactly at 0 degrees

Boiled water at room temperature should freeze faster because the oxygen that was in the water has been removed. It should also freeze clearer.

Which hot or cold water will freeze faster?

It has been proven that hot water freezes faster than cold water.


Is it true that hot water freezes faster than cold water?

Hot water does not freeze faster than cold water. Nor does cold water boil faster than hot water. For water to freeze, you must remove enough heat to bring its temperature down to 0 C. The colder the water is, the less heat you have to remove before it freezes. I have no idea why this rumor is cirulating the net and the world. It is just totaly insane to even think that that could be true. If you have just heated the water to 100 degrese, then it has that much more to cool down to 0. If the waterisat 30 then it is obvious that the 30 degree would cool faster. Really now. It's not exactly a rumor, it's true...at least sometimes. In scientific communities it's called "The Mpemba Effect" and was named after a Tanzanian student named Erasto Mpemba who first raised the question in the late 60s. When a container of water is placed in a freezer, there are many factors which can affect the length of time it will take to freeze, and under the proper combination of circumstances, a given volume of hot water in a container may freeze faster than the same volume of cold water. So, the best answer is, "Sometimes."


Why does sea water freezes faster than fresh water?

sea water doesnt freeze faster than fresh water, fresh water freezes faster than sea water as it has a lower freezing point than sea water has as sea water contains salt which makes the boiling/freezing points increase therefore making the sea water freeze at a lower temperature.


Does hot cold or salt water freeze faster?

Cold water, being the closest to freezing point, will obviously freeze the fastest. Hot water will freeze the second fastest, and salt water barely ever freezes, except in very cold conditions.

Which freezes faster hot water or cold water?

Cold water will freeze faster. Because the freezing point of water is 0oC, water that is closer to that point will freeze faster then hot water. This is because it will require less time to lower the temperature to the freezing point.


How do cold air and hot water make the water freeze faster?

Cold air and hot water makes water freeze faster simply because the hot water is steaming and so the result is that there is less water to freeze. hot water = steam = less water less water = faster freeze cold air = faster freeze
