This is a pervasive misunderstanding. It, in fact, does not freeze faster. Since the water is initially "hot", compared to "ordinary" water, the rate of temperature change is faster as it approches freezing (basic thermodynamics), however, hot water has a bigger range to travel than ordinary water

Can hot or cold water freeze faster?

Cold water freezes faster because hot water has to cool down to the freezing temperature before it can freeze.


How do cold air and hot water make the water freeze faster?

Cold air and hot water makes water freeze faster simply because the hot water is steaming and so the result is that there is less water to freeze. hot water = steam = less water less water = faster freeze cold air = faster freeze


Why does tap water freeze faster than tap water?

How long do it take for hot water to freeze?

The time it takes for hot water to freeze depends on factors such as the initial temperature of the hot water and the surrounding temperature. In general, hot water will freeze faster than cold water due to the Mpemba effect, which is the phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.


What freezes faster water or ammonia?

Water freezes faster than ammonia because water has a higher freezing point (0°C) compared to ammonia (-77.7°C). This means that water can freeze at a higher temperature, making the freezing process faster.


Does water that is denser than normal like salt water freeze faster?

On the contrary, it takes longer for salt water to freeze - it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water does.


Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?

Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
