Why hot water takes longer to cool than hot oil?
Actually i believe that hot oil cools faster than hot water because to cool down water you first have to emmm..... i think you have to condense it i think HOPE IT HELPS IF IT DOESN'T PLS DON'T HATE ME OR CURSE :)
How long does it take for milk to get to room temperature?
depends on the "ingredients" a hot potato takes a lot longer than a noodle to cool down.
After boiling water with sugar heat retention compared to fresh water?
In my experiment, he water with sugar had the most heat retention and cooled slower than the fresh water. I'm not 100% sure why, but I think it is because it is denser, therefore, when it is heated, more particles have been heated. If there are more particles heated, then it will take longer for each particle to cool down than water which has less particles.
Why do foods require longer microwave cooking time at higher atitudes?
The boiling point of water goes down at higher altitudes, and so foods take longer to cook (because the temperature of the food doesn't usually exceed the boiling point of water).See the Related Questions about how elevation effects the boiling point of water.
Why does it take alka- seltzer longer to dissolve in cold water?
Beause cold water is less dissovlable
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
Does hot water cool faster than cool water?
yes, hot water just cools down cold water will turn into ice which will take longer
Does it take longer for water to cool or heat up?
It takes longer to cool off, but mostly depending on the temperature.
Does it take longer for a house to cool or to heat up?
It would take longer for the house to cool down because hot air can heat up the house faster
What type of material retains heat the best?
insulators although they take a long time to heat up, it takes a longer time to cool down. that's why if you heat water in a metallic container it takes more time for the water to cool down than the coontainer.
Why do bubbles last longer in hot water?
Bubbles last longer in cool water because the cold water doesn't take energy from the bubbles
Does water take longer than copper to cool?
water cools quicker because it evaporates. It's why you feel cool when the wind hits your wet skin in dry climate.

Does it hurt the freezer when you put hot water in it in ice trays?
i dont think so...i dont see why it would at all. its just water and eventually that water will cool down and freeze into ice. it may take a little longer to freeze but it probably wont do any harm
How long does it take for water to cool down during freezing point?
5 hrs to freeze solid
Why does pure water take longer to cool than salty water?
Salt, if you put it on ice, melts the ice. So that probably what is causing it not to freeze as fast.
How can you cool down a horse when it's sweating?
You can walk the horse, if it is hot outside you can take it for a swim or spray with water.
