Cold water requires a higher temperature elevation than warm water does, and therefore will take longer to heat to boilinIf you start with hot water there is not enough difference in temperature from top to bottom to create an effective convection loop, because hot stuff only rises while in the presence of cold stuff to rise above. Warm water promotes a slower convection loop and hence will take longer for "ALL OF THE WATER" to hit 212 degrees.

according to scientists, the notion that a body of cold water will reach boiling temperature more quickly than an identical body of hot water under the same parameters is simply false.

This kitchen myth may have started as a way to encourage people to cook with cold water, not hot, which can contain more impurities. It may also have its origins in the fact that cold water generally gains heat more rapidly than water that is already hot, though it will not boil faster.

But under the right circumstances, the reverse phenomenon can occur, and hot water can freeze more quickly than cool water.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Cold water does not boil faster than hot water, but hot water can freeze more quickly than cool water.

Does cold water boil faster than hot water?

No, hot water boils faster than cold water because it is already closer to the boiling point.


Does hot water boil faster than cold water?

Yes, hot water boils faster than cold water because it is closer to the boiling point and requires less energy to reach that temperature.


Dose hot boil faster than cold water?

Yes, hot water boils faster than cold water because the molecules in hot water have more energy and are already closer to the boiling point. This means it takes less time and energy to raise the temperature of hot water to the boiling point compared to cold water.


Why does hot water boils faster than cold water?

Hot water boils faster than cold water because it is closer in temperature to the boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100oC. If we had hot water at 90oC and cold water at 20oC, then the hot one would reach the boiling point of 100oC faster, since it only has 10oC more to go adn less heat needs to be added.ummm... hot water and hot water boil at the same rate...

Which produces boiling water faster warm water or cold water?

I recommend putting hot water in your kettle and timing it getting to the boil, and repeating with the same volume of cold water. Then have a think about why this happens.
