Do smaller amounts of water freeze faster than larger amounts of water?

Yes because they have a larger surface area exposed to room temperature. Generally the smaller the object the larger the surface area. This is why small animals get colder quicker than large animals. Some animals have adapted their bodies to increase or reduce their surface area. For example, the ears of an elephant gives it a much larger surface area relative to its size.

∙ 11y agoyes because the larger the piece the easier it is to hold the cold in than when in smaller pieces the cold isn't as trapped as it would be if it were larger. Using an ice cube surrounded by room-temperature air as an example, breaking the ice cube up exposes more ice surface to the warmer air surrounding it, thus making it melt faster. You're absolutely right.

∙ 11y agoThis is due to the amount of energy you are trying to dissipate. A gallon of water at 80 C has much more heat energy than a pint of water at 80 C. Because there is more energy present, it takes longer to remove that energy.

Do hot water pipes freeze faster than cold water pipes?
Why is the second paragraph a contradiction of the first? If hot water pipes 'Absolutely' do not freeze faster than cold water pipes then why the comment about the cold water pipes having a larger diameter which causes them to freeze at a slower rate than the smaller hot water pipes? Also, the word then in the last line should be thanand there should be an a between usually and larger. And, piping should be changed to pipe.
Do bigger wheel roll faster?
No. Bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels. They roll slower because they have a larger circumference and they take longer to roll. Smaller wheels have a smaller circumference meaning they go faster.
Is a deciliter smaller or larger than a milliliter by a factor of?
A deciliter is larger than a milliliter by a factor of 100.
Does cubed or crushed ice melt faster?
Crushed ice melts much faster than cubed because crushed ice is smaller. Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air or liquid its in. It is also less dense and will be more subject to temperature change because of it.
Why do smaller particles dissolve faster than larger ones?
With smaller particles there is more surface area for the solvent to reach. Less surface area means less places where the solvent can dissolve. Think about grain salt v. a salt block. If you pour the same amount of water on both, the water will reach and dissolve a majority of the grain salt immediately. However, the water will only touch the outside of the block salt. The middle would remain untouched.
Which moves faster smaller or larger gears?
Usually smaller.
Do different amounts of water freeze at the same temperature?
Yes, but the larger the amount of water, the longer it will take for it to freeze.
Is the faster a rock cools the larger the crystals?
NO the faster a rock cools the smaller the crystals are.
What pulley turns faster?
smaller ones turn faster than larger ones
Would a smaller toy car go faster then a larger one down a ramp?
yes because it is smaller and friction will be smaller so it will go faster!
Will having a larger canopy make the parachute fall faster or slower?
How smaller, how faster the downglide
Why does an ice with larger amount of surface area freeze faster?
because it is already ice (frozen)

What will grow mold faster smaller slices of cheese or larger slices of cheese?
Larger slices of cheese!!!
Is a smaller or lighter car necessarily faster?
A lighter car is not necessarily faster than a smaller car, as it depends upon the power of the vehicle. If the question is asking whether a smaller or lighter car is necessarily faster than a larger car, again the answer is "no". The larger car can easily be more powerful.
Would a larger marble roll faster than a smaller marble from an inclination?
no
