Distilled water freezes first. This is because the presence of impurities in water lowers the freezing point of water and since tap water reasonably contains impurities, it will have a lower freezing point, that is it will freeze at a temperature less than 0oC. On the other hand, distilled water does not contain impurities and freezes at 0oC.

Which kind of water freezes faster?

Distilled water tends to freeze faster than tap water because it lacks impurities and minerals that can act as nucleation sites for ice crystals to form. This allows distilled water to supercool more easily and reach the freezing point faster.

Does distilled water freeze differently than normal tap water?

Distilled water freezes at 0°C (32°F), just like normal tap water. However, because distilled water lacks impurities and minerals present in tap water, it may freeze slightly faster. This is due to the absence of impurities that can act as nucleation sites for ice crystal formation.


Why does tap water freeze faster than tap water?

No, it isn't faster, tap water freezes just at the same temperature as tap water
