Yes. If you extract heat it will cool further and possibly freeze. You can in principle keep extracting heat until you get to absolute zero.

q= mc(Tf-Ti)

q is heat energy

m is mass

c is specific heat capacity of water (look at units to be sure which one you need)

and then final - initial temperatures

if q is negative, then heat has been radiated away from system

Energy is never destroying only transferred, when cooling water you are transferring heat from water to something else. It depends how you do it, freezers require electricity, ice doesn't.

for water to cool to its freezing point it must gain energy

If you are standing on a wet floor and when the water evaporates it produces a cooling effect How does the kinetic theory explain the cooling effect?

When water evaporates, it draws a lot of energy called latent heat of vapourization. It is this demand for energy from evaporating water that causes a cooling effect as it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.


What type of energy does the water have when it reaches the power station?

Which water do you mean? The cooling water will be at the natural temperature of the lake or river it has come from. It will have only thermal energy


What causes the water temperature to rise when the car is turned off after running?

A certain amount of the energy carried by the cooling water, is kinetic energy, from the circulation through the cooling system. When the engine is turned off, the water stops circulating. The kinetic energy contained in the water is converted to heat, thus raising the temperature of the coolant.


In terms of energy why is water used in cooling systems?

Water has a height specific heat, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat energy per kilogram.


Why is evaporating from water from your skin a cooling process?

Evaporation is an endothermic process, absorb energy.


How does the rate of cooling water change?

because of the thermal energy being released from the hot water and dissipated into the air.


What does water vapor need in order to change states from a gas to a liquid?

Water vapor needs to condense by cooling it.


What best describes the process of water vapor cooling down as it rises and forming clouds?

changing heat energy into kinetic energy


Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?

Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.


Is it possible to add or take away energy from an object?

Yes, to take energy from something would be cooling it. And to give energy to something is to heat it, so what your asking is, is it possible to heat or cool something ?


How vacuum is created in condenser?

vaccum is created i steam turbine after giving its heat to cooling water when it happens i mean rection of giving heat to cooling water energy is required to complete this process and that energy will drawn from surrounding atmosphere so in that way vaccum is created


Does water vapour contract when cooled?

Yes. Cooling down water vapour removes energy. Pressure is a direct measurement of energy density (units for pressure: N/m2 which is the same as Nm per m3). So removing energy from water (thus cooling it) would lower its energy density, decreasing its pressure. Pressure directly influences volume, and so reducing pressure will reduce volume.
