Why does hot water corrode more quickly then cold water?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction. The vast majority of chemical reactions are speeded up by the input of heat. The energy from the heat causes the particles to move faster and thus react faster.
Which boils quicker warm or cold water?
cold water does.
Is drinking ice cold water bad?
No. Cold water absorbs more quickly into the body than warmer water, making chilled water preferable for hydration.
Which metal reacts quickly with cold water only when it is finely powdered?
I had the same quesiton on a worksheet in my Chemistry class .... "Which metal reacts quickly with when water when it is finely powdered?" The answer is Magnesium .
Why boiling water is used instead of cold water when potassium manganate is dropped in the boiling water?
Potassium Manganate (VII) also called potassium permanganate, dissolves very quickly in hot water and much slower in cold water.
Which would corrode more quickly a pipe that carries cold water or one that carries hot water?
the heat from hot water will heat the pipe, loosening the bonds between the molecules in the pipe and allowing for more oxygen molecules to enter, creating more rust much faster. cold water will do the opposite; it will make the bonds tighter and allow LESS oxygen in.

Which would corrode more quickly a pipe with hot water or a pipe with cold water?
the pipe with the hot water will.]The piping with cold water as many hydronic systems are over 100 years old and the piping looks as new as the day it was installedAs long as thermo stress and velocity are taken into consideration hot water lines can last longer then their cold countter parts as cold piping becomes more brittle over the years
What carries cold water from the northern pacific ocean south to Mexico?
The California Current carries cold water to Mexico from the North Pacific Ocean. :-)
Which boils quicker warm or cold water?
cold water does.
Why do copper pipes carry hot water corrode faster than pipes that carry cold water?
Heat speeds up chemical reactions. As corrosion is a chemical reaction, copper pipes at a higher temperature will corrode faster
What carries cold and warm ocean water around the world?

Do solids dissolve more quickly in cold or warm water?
Solids dissolve a lot more quickly in hot water because the heat breaks up the particles more quickly, where as the cold would make the particles stay stronger/closer together :)

No. Cold water absorbs more quickly into the body than warmer water, making chilled water preferable for hydration.
Why do raisins plump up more quickly in hot water than in cold water?
Raisins plump up more quickly in hot water because the molecules in hot water move quicker than molecules in cold water so the hot water molecules diffuse quicker into the raisin.
