Cold water extraction is the process whereby a substance is extracted from a mixture via cold water. It is a type of fractional crystallization.
The process generally involves taking a mixture of substances, dissolving them in warm water, and then rapidly cooling the mixture. The insoluble compounds precipitate out of the water, while the soluble ones stay dissolved. The solution can then be separated by filtration or decantation.
This process works by exploiting the differences in solubility (with respect to temperature) of different substances in a mixture. It is commonly used to separate out opiate-derived drugs that have been mixed with common non-opiate-based analgesics, such as are found in Codeine/Paracetamol(Acetaminophen) formulations, Zaldiar and Vicodin.
The collected crystals in a recrystallization process are washed with cold water to remove impurities and excess solvent without dissolving the desired crystals. Cold water helps to minimize the solubility of the crystals, allowing for a more effective purification process.
The process that causes the heating up of cold water when hot water is added to it is called conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat energy from a warmer substance to a cooler substance through direct contact. When hot water is added to cold water, the heat energy from the hot water is transferred to the cold water through conduction, causing the cold water to heat up.
It is recommended to thaw food in cold water, as warm water can promote bacterial growth. Placing the sealed food in cold water ensures a safe thawing process and helps maintain food safety.
When warm water mixes with cold water, the overall temperature will slightly decrease as the warm water transfers some of its heat energy to the cold water until they reach a thermal equilibrium. This process is known as thermal equilibration.
No, cold water will not make Orbeez bigger. Orbeez absorb water regardless of its temperature and will expand in size when placed in water. Temperature does not affect the expansion process.

This process is called convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as water, as warmer fluid rises and colder fluid sinks.
When water vapor gets cold it condenses into condensation.

Nothing very exciting happens because as the cold water would rise it would push the warm water down. This would cause the cold water to heat up and the warm water to cool off. This creates a cycle of cooling and warming.
Condensation
no because the cold water speeds up the process by starting it

To quickly get hot water from the cold tap, you can turn on the hot water faucet and let it run until the hot water reaches the tap. This process helps to flush out the cold water in the pipes and allows the hot water to flow faster.
