This is due to temperature differences. A lower temperature signifies a lower amount of average kinetic energy (as defined by the Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution curve), and therefore cold water molecules slow down, and vice versa, for water molecules at a higher temperature.

Is ozone more soluble in cold or hot water?

Ozone is more soluble in colder water compared to hot water. This is because colder water can hold more dissolved gases than hot water due to higher solubility at lower temperatures.


Does still water have more oxygen than flowing water?

Flowing water generally has more dissolved oxygen than still water because moving water allows more oxygen to be absorbed from the air. Still water can become depleted of oxygen over time due to lack of replenishment, especially in stagnant or enclosed areas.


Why does colder water have a higher density than warmer water?

Cold water is denser than warm water because the molecules in cold water are closer together due to lower kinetic energy. This closer packing of molecules results in higher density. When water is heated, the molecules have more kinetic energy, causing them to spread out slightly and decrease the overall density of the water.


How much sodium chloride can be dissolved in 20 degree Celsius water into 2 L of water?

The amount of sodium chloride that would dissolve in 2 L of water at 20 degrees Celsius depends on if the water is moving. It would dissolve faster in moving water than still sitting water.


Why does moving water dissolve life savers quicker than still water?

Moving water has more kinetic energy, which helps break down the sugar molecules in Life Savers faster due to higher collisions between water molecules and the candy. This results in quicker dissolution compared to still water, where the contact between water molecules and the candy surface is less frequent.

Why should a cup with warm water spread food dye faster than ice water?

Molecules in warm water are moving faster than those in the colder water.


What does flowing waters have?

Flowing water has kinetic energy associated with that fact that it is moving. It is a fact that moving water is more resistant to freezing than still water.


Does moving water freeze at a different rate than still water?

Yes, moving water typically freezes at a slower rate than still water due to the constant motion preventing the formation of ice crystals.


Is ozone more soluble in cold or hot water?

Ozone is more soluble in colder water compared to hot water. This is because colder water can hold more dissolved gases than hot water due to higher solubility at lower temperatures.


Is salt water colder then ice?

well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.


When a cup is sweating is the water colder or warmer than the outside?

A sweating cup is colder than the air which surrounds it.


What does cold water have in it?

Water has the same components at any temperature, hot to cold. The reason cold water is cold is because it has less heat (the atoms of water are moving more slowly than at higher temperatures). the colder the water is, the slower its atoms are moving. So, the difference is heat, not what's in it (its composition).


Why is rubbing alcohol colder than water when you blow on it?

The evaporation is quicker than water


How much colder is the temperature of water compared to the temperature of the air?

The temperature of water is typically colder than the temperature of the air.


Why is water colder in the deep than in the shallow?

The heat can not get very far down, thus making it colder.


Is icy salt water colder than icy fresh water?

yes


If the surroundings is colder than a glass of water will condensation occur?

Nope it's the other way around; the glass has to be colder than the surroundings.
