In hot water the molecules vibrate faster than cold, resulting in the same number of molecules taking up a larger space. This means that hot water is less dense than cold water, and thus floats above the cold water.

Can hot water float on top of cold water?

Yes


What egg will float faster an egg with cold water or an egg with hot water?

Cold water.


can hot water float on cold?

Yes, as hot water is less dense than cold water so it will float on top of cold water. Over time the temperatures will equalise due to natural conduction and convection.


What floats more between cold water and hot water?

The density of cold water is greater than hot water so there will be more substances that will float in it.


If cold water is denser than hot water then how can you float in a warm water?

The difference in water density (hot-cold) is very small, compared to the difference in density between water of any temperature, and your body. That is, even hot water is more dense that we are, so we still float.


What is the Difference between adding flour to cold water and hot water to flour?

Flour to cold water will just float on top, hot water to flour will cook the flour.


What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?

Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.


Can a egg float in cold water?

Yes, fresh eggs typically sink in water, but as they age, the air cell inside the egg grows larger, causing the egg to float. This is because old and stale eggs have more air inside their shells. Temperature doesn't have a direct impact on whether an egg will float or sink, but colder water can slow down the release of air from the egg, so it may take longer for a fresh egg to float in cold water compared to room temperature water.


What ball will drop first in hot water or cold water?

a steel ball bearing will drop faster in warm water then cold water, a beach ball will float better in cold water because cold water is more dense.


Why hot liquids float above cool liquids?

Hot liquids have lower density than cooler liquids because the heat causes the molecules to spread out, making them less dense. This difference in density causes the hot liquid to float above the cool liquid because objects with lower density float on top of objects with higher density.


What happens when hot water is on top of cold water?

Hot water is lighter then cold water so it would stay up on top of cold water till both waters naturalize to the same temp. a good example is a water heater and (if its not to old) open your drain at the bottom of the water heater and if your dip tube is still good you should always get cold water out of it even if the water heater is on and your water heater pressure is on.


Why is it easier to float in cold water?

It is easier to float in cold water because cold water is denser than warm water, providing increased buoyancy to support the body. Additionally, cold water can cause vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the extremities and helping to conserve heat, which can also contribute to buoyancy.
