The ocean.
Here's why:
Thermal energy is a measure of heat content of a material greater in temperature than absolute zero. At absolute zero there is zero heat energy, even though the material still has a minimum energy state (non thermal energy).
From zero degrees rankine to 492 degrees rankine Ice has an internal thermal heat content of 0.47 btu/pound/degree. That is to say 1 pound of Ice at 32 degrees fahrenheit (492 R) has a heat content of 492 x 0.47 btu or 231 btu/lb.
In order to melt that pound of ice without changing the temperature requires 144 btu. Then to raise the temperature to 212 degrees (the hottest water can get without boiling at atmospheric pressure) another 180 btu are added to the water. so the highest heat content in a pound of hot water is 231 btu + 144 btu + 180 btu or 555 btu total heat content.
A cup of water weighs slightly more than 1/2 pound so the total heat content can only be slightly more than 280 btu.
A cup of cold water will have slightly more than 190 btu. 2 cups of cold water will have about 380 btu total heat content, more than 1 cup hot water. So any volume greater than two cups of cold water will necessarily have a higher heat content (total thermal energy) than any 1 cup of hot water.
**Note: generally in steam engineering the zero for determining heat energy is at 32 degrees fahrenheit, because in a steam cycle ice does not flow through the system, thus this is the minimum practical use of heat in the cycle. Therefor the 231 btu/lb , and the latent heat of fusion of 144 btu is not used in the steam tables and heat entropy charts, (temperature entropy charts do include these values) as this heat energy is unusable in the system. This does not mean it doesn't exist, only that it is practically unusable thus neglected. (if this were used as the zero energy state for your question then any volume of water at 32 degrees F would have zero heat content, thus less heat than a cup of warm water, this isn't the true case though).
Yes, it is fair to say that a cup of hot water contains more heat than a cup of cold water.
Yes. It has higher intermolecular potential energy.
That's going to depend on the actual temperatures.
"Cold" and "hot" is not enough data.
A cup of hot water.
yes indeed i studied this
hot water
hot water
Yes
Hot air has more capacity than cold air (Air expands on heating.
more likely to freeze.
starting from absolute zero, even twice as much water as the tea would contain more heat. Even starting at 0 Celsius underwater volcanoes would heat water far beyond boiling. On a percentage of heat the tea would win.
Hot and cold are caused by the same thing-heat. Cold objects contain less heat than hot ones. An object can become more or less hot through heat exchange. An object can retain heat as insulation creates heat storage.http://portlandovations.org/files/pca_offstage/study_guides/beakman_live.pdf
It's better in cold because you can run faster. In heat you sweat more than in cold.
Hot Water extinguishes more effectively than cold water as it has a higher specific heat capacity than cold water.
It is certainly warmer, and therefore has a higer temperature. Other than that I have no idea what you are asking.
Yes it will. This is because cold water has less heat than hot water and therefore can absorb more heat when put on the fire.
Water has the same components at any temperature, hot to cold. The reason cold water is cold is because it has less heat (the atoms of water are moving more slowly than at higher temperatures). the colder the water is, the slower its atoms are moving. So, the difference is heat, not what's in it (its composition).
Because water evaporates from heat energy which hot water has more of.
Hot air has more capacity than cold air (Air expands on heating.
no. Ice can evaporate into a gas by melting into water and turning into a gas when more heat is added. Gas can be hot or cold
The water has more heat than ice ... the water looses the heat to the ice the ice melts to become water .. but not warm water .. cold water that also looses heat to the warm water till equilibrium is reached and a final cool temperature is maintained .. but then the air around the water adds heat to the cold water till they all reach equilibrium and the water is warm again ..
Molecules of carbon dioxide must absorb heat energy to change from solid to gas. Warm water contains more heat energy than cold water.
It is because oceon contain more salt than fresh water and oceon is very cold . hope i answer your question!
What I mean by that is... If you wash your hair with cold water, have you a better chance of rinsing your hair with less limescale than if you used hot water?
Yes
