Can hot water freeze easily than cold water?
Yes, hot water can freeze easier than cold water. This is known as the Mpemba effect, but the starting temperature of the water has to be at a precise temperature for this to occur.
Which hot or cold water will freeze faster?
It has been proven that hot water freezes faster than cold water.
If the specific heat capacity of water were lower than it is ponds in the cold of winter would be what?
more likely to freeze.
Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?
No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.
How is viscosity affected by the cold?
Viscosity is the state of being thick. For example, Molasses has a higher viscosity than water. Liquids often freeze when the weather becomes cold, so viscosity increases in the cold.
Do cold water freeze faster than warm water?
yes
Can hot water freeze easily than cold water?
Yes, hot water can freeze easier than cold water. This is known as the Mpemba effect, but the starting temperature of the water has to be at a precise temperature for this to occur.
Does a bottle of water freeze faster than a bottle of ice thawing?
Yes it does. Cold water freeze slower than normal or hot water.
Related literature Does hot water freeze faster than cold?
No. It takes longer to freeze because cold water is closer to it's freezing point.
What are the materials for does hot water freeze faster than cold water?
Hot and cold water and a freezer and a timer or stopwatch
Which hot or cold water will freeze faster?
It has been proven that hot water freezes faster than cold water.
Why do hot water lines freeze and cold water lines don't?
Cold water lines may have more insulation than hot water lines, otherwise they should both freeze unless there is some agent in the water.
Does cold water freeze faster than hot water?
Yes. Water of any starting temperature must be cooled to 0 oC in order to freeze.
Why doesn't spring water freeze?
If the temperature is below freezing a water supply will freeze in the cold weather. The water will not freeze if the temperature is 32 degrees or more.
Does hot water freeze at a different ratev than cold water?
No hot water freezes, it has to cool off first.
Does warm water freeze faster than cooler water?
no because the cold water speeds up the process by starting it
Why is hot water faster to become solid than the cold water inside refrigerator?
The fact that hot water may freeze faster than cold is often called the Mpemba effect
