Essentially, because the room is a much bigger object than the water. This is a general consequence of entropy. The heat distribution in the entire system of the room and the water tends to 'average out' over time when left on its own. Since the room (or atmosphere) is much bigger the final temperature will be very close to its original temperature. This is also why water at zero degrees will heat up to room temperature

What temperature does water freeze at in?
Generally, 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Other factors can change this, like the pressure on the water, the purity of the water and an interesting phenomenon whereby water that is very calm and still can cool down below freezing point without changing to ice. This "supercooled" state is unstable and a tiny jolt can cause ice to form very quickly.
Why should a clinical thermometer not be washed in hot water?
The idea is based avoiding use of the thermometer when it is reading "higher" than what it is that is being measured. Let's look at what's happening. If we wash a clinical thermometer in hot water, it will respond to that hot water. That will cause the reading to shoot up well above a hundred degrees. If we then try to use it, it will have to "cool down" under the tongue of the person we're using it on. It is actually being cooled by that person. The thermometer will take a relatively long time to reach the temperature of the individual whose temperature is being measured. And this time will vary, but will be longer than it would be for the thermometer to "come up" to temperature. One of the directions for using these thermometers is to first shake it down until it reads less than 95 degrees or so. If you're starting with a thermometer than has just been washed in hot water, you're not going to be able to shake it down per the directions. You'll have to run it under cool water for a bit to cool it so you can use it.
Does mint cool down hot water?
yesbecause mint is kind of herb that is spicy and has chemicals inside that make the water cool down
How long does it take cold water to turn room temperature?
It depends on the heat of the water and how much exposure it has to the air around it. Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning that it takes a large amount of energy to change its temperature.
Is hydrongen a solid liquid or gas?
Gas. For hydrogen to become a liquid, you need to cool it down to 20.28 K, which is -252.87 degrees Celsius, or -434.45 degrees Fahrenheit if that is more your style.
What temperature does boiling water freeze?
32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Celsius. Because it is currently boiling, you need to cool it down a lot first.
What is the normal operating temperature of a 2005 Chevrolet Impala?
Under normal conditions the thermostat opens at 195 degrees. The water temperature will reach between230 to 235 degrees and the cooling fan will come on and cool down to around 200 degrees and then shut off.
How do you increase the density of water?
Cool the water down to 4 degrees C. Water is at its densest at 4 degrees, which is why the bottom of lakes will almost always be 4 degrees.
How do you clown fish cool down their bodies?
clown fish cannot actively cool down their bodies, they are poikilotherms. their body temperature is dependent on the water temperature and therefore so is their metabolism
On a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu what is the normal engine temperature?
The thermostat opens at 195 degrees and the temperature will rise to 232 to 235 degrees before the cooling fan comes on to cool it down.
Does water increase in temperature while converting to ice?
While actually converting to ice (at 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F), the temperature of water does not change. Once it is ice, the temperature can go down. Likewise, while converting to water(at 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F), the temperature of ice does not change. Once it is water, the temperature can go up.
What if your temperature gauge is showing too hot over 195 degrees Fahrenheit?
then you better stop and let it cool down
How many degrees should your ac pull the room down?
It depends on the ambient temperature and the desired temperature. Subtract the desired temperature from the actual temperaturd to determine the number of degrees by which th air conditioner should cool the room.
Do mints cool down water?
Yes they do if they have a lower temperature than that of the hot water which is most likely the case.
What is the effect of ice cube when it is place inside the aquarium?
It will cool down water temperature when by melting down AND it will lift up the water level in the aquarium
What is Temp Antarctica?
The water temperature in the Southern Ocean that surrounds the Antarctic continent varies down to about 28 degrees F, because of the minerals contained in the water. Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees F. The high water temperature in this ocean can reach 50 degrees F.
What temperature should drinking tea be?
Teas should always be made with boiling water. After that it is down to the individual as to what temperature they like to drink it at, perhaps with milk to cool it down.
