A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground.

If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.

Would ink dissolve faster or slower in warm water?

Faster. Because the hotter/warmer the substance, the faster ink or any other material would dissolve in it.


Why does diffusion occur faster in hot water than in cold water?

This happens because the hotter a substance is, the faster its atoms or molecules are moving. They have more mobility and can get around faster.


Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?

This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.


What gets hotter as it cools down?

AnswerThe fireplace


Is the faster a rock cools the larger the crystals?

NO the faster a rock cools the smaller the crystals are.


When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?

No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.


Why does black coffee cool down quickest?

well the hypothesis tells us that black coffee is naturally hotter than white coffee but the actual answer to this question is that white coffee cools faster because milk has its own temperature and will definitely make a difference.


What type of soda cools faster?

coke it has less sodium and sugar then other sodas an when it has less it cools faster


Does land lose heat faster than water?

Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
