it depends on the color the water is in and if its in purple it would probally be hot but not that hot but say it was in a black containor it would probally be very hot. Two different ways to look at this question. The color of the water, or the color of the container its in. Lets do both. The clearer the water is and the lighter color the container is will result in passing sunlight to not hit anything and warm it up. Tainted water or muddy water and darker containers will warm up due to sunlight being absorbed. This will also effect evaporation rates as well. Inside the house, color makes no difference if not in direct sunlight.

If you are filling up a dark coloured cup with water as opposed to a light coloured cup, the darker one would retain more heat which would in turn affect the water temperatures and make the water warmer.

Color effects temperature because light is absorbed and reflected based on an object's surface color, black absorbes more heat because it is a darker color and has less albedo (closer to 0) unlike white which is closer to 1.albedo- A fraction of light that is reflected by a body or surface.

The color of a container affects the temperature because of the way it reacts to heat. Dark colored containers tend to absorb heat and thus are bound to have higher temperatures when compared to light colored containers which reflect heat away.

Yes, the colour of a cup can affect the evaporation. Darker colours absorb more heat, so 50ml of water in a black or brown cup would dissolve quicker than 50ml of water in a clear or yellow cup.

Supposedly it does. Dark colors are said to absorb heat, since black absorbs all light energy, while light colors are said to reflect heat, since white reflects light energy.

Temperature does not affect the colour of water.

It just affects its state.

Does the type of cup affect water's temperature?

Yes, the size (volume and mass) and the type of the cup will affect its temperature


Does the color dye in clear water effect it's temperature?

The dye will not affect the temperature of the water unless you have very small quantities of water. There can be a change of temperature when a solid dissolves but we are unlikely to observe this if there is a small amount of solid compared to the volume of water. If you are using less than a cup of water you may observe a temperature change.


How does the cup a liquid is in affect its temperature?

By the heat conductivity the material the cup is made from.


Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or a cup of tap water?

A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.


Does color effect which an ice cube melts?

The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.


How many calories does it take to raise the temperature of a cup of water?

It depends on what temperature is is at and how much water there is.


Which can more transfer heat a cup of boiling water or 1 basin of tap water?

A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.

What is the best way to tell the exact temperature of a cup of water?

Temperature can be measured with a thermometer.


When you have a cup of boiling hot water next to a cup with ice cold water how does the movement of the water molecules change in each case?

Equilibrium of temperature. The water is trying to reach the same temperature as the environment it sits in. a cup of hot water has a higher temperature than the room so therefore begins to cool. a cup of cold water has a lower temperature than the room and therefore begins to heat up. both reach equilibrium when at the same temperature as the room


If the ice is in water will it melt faster than ice in a cup by itself?

That depends entirely on the air temperature and the temperature of the water.


If a cup of water of temperature 50 degree celsius is mixed with another cup of water of temperature 50 degree celsius the final temperature of the two combined cups of water will be 100 degree?

No, as both the temperatures are the same, you will get only 2 cups, each 50 degrees. You have to heat the cup to get 100 degree.
