All water starts to turn to ice at 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. it just depends how long you leave it to freeze. it usually takes about half an hour for a very thin layer of ice to appear on the top however it doesnt just freeze at the top, it freezes on the whole outside of the water so even if the top is a thin layer of ice after about an hour, there is a high chance that it is also frozen the whole of the outside to form like an ice container however the ice is very weak and even slightly touching it will cause it to break. hope this helps :)

What keeps people in wetsuits warm?

There is a thin layer of water between your skin and the wetsuit. Your body heat warms up this thin layer of water in turn keeping you warm. http://www.wetsuits.net/category/51440533061/1/Boys-Wetsuits.htm


What does foliate mean?

Foliate has to do with leaves. (Hence the foliage of autumn when the leaves turn different colours.) But there are other and quirky definitions of the word, having to do with the coating of a mirror with a thin layer, or to decorate with a thin layer, or to split into thin, leaf-like layers. check the link for more info: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/foliate


What does a trees green wood turn into?

Green wood means it is still full of sap and unseasoned. Unless you mean the thin green layer under a trees bark? That is the cambium layer, the outside of the cambium layer will eventually turn into bark and the inside of the cambium layer will turn into the sapwood, which one day may become heartwood.


Do ice melt faster in cold water compared to an ice in tap water?

I haven't tried it, but theoretically it's not true. Ice is a crystalised, low temperature water. So the more temperature you give it, the faster it's mollecules gain enough kinetic energy to break it's bonds and liquify. Ofcourse, giving too much temperature (like dropping it into few hundred degrees) would cause it to turn directly into gas, therefore forming a thin layer of gas that prevents direct contact between ice and hot water


What liquids can turn into water vapor at room temperature?

water


Why water turn into ice instantly?

Water don't turn instantly into ice; this depends on the temperature.


What temperature does water turn into gas what is the name of this point?

The boiling point is the temperature at which water turns into a gas.


Does water temperature affect how much the water bends with static electricity?

I don't know about "stick to," but if you turn on a tap so that just a thin stream of water is coming out you can actually bend it by bringing an object with a static charge near the stream.


How many years will it take for the Antarctica to turn into water?

Depends on factors concerning the ozone layer, the temperature of the World, and human activities on Antarctica. I hope it never does because there are amazing penguins on it!


How do you turn copper blue with heat?

Well, you could heat it to about 30,000 K. It would be a gas at that temperature, but it would definitely be glowing blue. Other than that, copper doesn't turn blue simply from heating. You might be able to get a blue patina on copper by heating it and forming a very thin layer of oxides on the surface, but controlling the color is tricky, because the exact color is very dependent on the thickness of the oxide layer (this same effect is what's responsible for the "rainbow" colors of oil on water).


Why will an ice cube melts faster in large amount of water than that of lesser amount?

The simple reason is that an equilibrium reaction is occurring. When the ice cube is immersed into water, there is a difference in temperature, and as a result of this an equilibrium naturally occurs, with the ice cube warming up and the surrounding water cooling down. The ice cube will melt faster in a large amount of water than in a lesser amount because there is more surrounding water, and there will be differences in temperature between the water immediately surrounding the ice cube and the water surrounding the water surrounding the ice cube, so the outer 'layer' of water is warmer than that of the 'inner layer' (surrounding the ice cube), and this in turn warms up the inner layer and the outer layer cools down, still trying to reach equilibrium. Due to this increase in temperature the 'inner layer' tries to reach equilibrium with the ice cube and 'outer layer' of water even quicker, to produce a consistent temperature throughout the water. In a lesser amount of water there is less water to cool down, so the ice cube won't melt as quick as less energy is required to cool the water, unlike in the larger volume of water


Does water when cooled turn into water vapor?

Water can evaporate no matter what temperature it is. It has a higher rate of vaporization at higher temperature however.
