Hot water may have more air in it, if you look closely you will see that there are all individual tiny, tiny little bubbles in there, looking at it as a whole, it looks white. If you notice it will clear from the bottom, up. Indicating that the bubbles are rising. I can say definitely it's air, but why there's more air in hot water than in cold water, that I couldn't say - maybe it has something to do with the molecules, their size and how fast they are moving. Hot water has the same amount of air in it as the cold because it is the same water. However the warmer the water the less disolved gases it can hold. Once liberated from being under pressure in the pipe and poured into a glass the gases come out of solution and into the air once this stops the water appears clear. It is much like opening a bottle of soda. The white colour may be hydrogen generated from inside the hot water unit. It is produced as a function of the water quality, temperature and the type of annode in the unit.

What happens when hydrogen gas is passed through lime water?
When hydrogen is added to lime water, the solution becomes milky. This is because it forms calcium carbonate.
What colors have white in them?
White can make a lot of other colours. For example, if you project white light through something clear e.g. glass, then you will get a little rainbow. This is how rainbows are formed in the sky, by the sun's rays coming through rain. But if you want colours that actually use white to make them, pink is a possibility (red and white).
What will you see if potassium chloride is dissolved in water?
If potassium chloride is fully dissolved in pure water, the white crystals of KCl will disappear to yield a clear solution.
What color is the flame of toluene?
All the toluene I've ever worked with is clear--what they call "water-white."
What color is potassium carbonate?
In a flame test, potassium and its compounds emit a lilac color, which may be masked by the strong yellow emission of sodium if it is also present. Cobalt glass can be used to filter out the yellow sodium color. The potassium ion is colorless in water.
What color is a Glass Sponge?
Glass Sponge is white and clear. Hence the name glass sponge

How do you get limestone from quicklime?
Take a small quantity of quicklime (CaO) in a beaker and add a small quantity of water into it. Quicklime reacts vigorously with water to form a suspension of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) in water. CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 Then leave the beaker containing slaked lime undisturbed for some time. After some time a clear solution is obtained as the suspension of slaked lime settles down. This clear solution is called lime water. Then take the lime water in a test tube and pass CO2 gas through it (or blow exhaled air into the lime water through a glass tube). The lime water turns milky. CO2 gas reacts with lime water to form a white precipitate of calcium carbonate. This white precipitate is called lime stone Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O

Why does a clear plain of white glass cant be used as lens?
By "White" I must assume you mean "Clear" otherwise the pane of glass would be opaque. A lens must have some curvature in order to focus light. A flat pane surface does not. The light may be bent on passing through the material, but will not be bent to a focal point, as would a lens.
