Generally colder water will freeze faster. If you put both hot and cold water into a freezer, the hot water first has to get cold, so the cold water has a head start towards freezing....but let's look at some factors that might change the issue for particular situations-- 1) Hot water could melt accumulated ice in the freezer, resulting in defrosting of the walls and perhaps better efficiency. 2) Hot and cold water might be slightly different in dissolved minerals, so they may not have the same freezing point. 3) If you put both into a freezer right next to each other, the two pans might have to equilibrate (get to the same temperature by sharing the heat). Any object will lose heat at a set rate governed by the temperature differential : the bigger the difference in temperature the more heat is dissipated. In the case of water the hot water does lose more heat to the surrounding air but as the difference between the two closes so does the rate of heat loss. therefore if a cup of boiling water cooled to 50 degrees in 1 minute another cup of water at 50 degrees may have only cooled to 30 degrees. Please note that the numbers here are purely for example purposes. Footnote: If you take water that has been boiled and allowed to cool to room temperature, it will freeze faster than an equal quantity of tapwater brought to room temperature without boiling.
What else can I help you with?
Why does water freeze faster?
because water is generally cold unless heated in a kettle. Coffee on the other hand is warm when you make it so if the water is colder to start with it will take less time to freeze.
Does salt or sugar dissolve faster in cold or hot water?
Sugar sinks at the same rate in warm or cold water. Sugar dissolves faster in warm water.
What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
Is wool warm when wet?
If it is cold water, than it is cold. if it is warm water, it is normal
What happens if you put water on snow?
Yes. Water vapor in the air can condense (like the water that forms on your cold glass of soda) and fall. If the temperature is warm, the water falls as rain. If the temperature is cold enough, the water freezes and falls as hail or snow.
Do cold water freeze faster than warm water?
yes
Does warm water freeze faster than cooler water?
no because the cold water speeds up the process by starting it
What freezes faster warm water or cold water?
Cold water, less energy must be removed from cold water to make it freeze. warm water has more energy which needs to be removed before it freezes. it is an urban myth that warm water freezes faster.
What will celery absorb faster warm or cold water?
Celery will absorb water faster in warm water because the molecules of warm water are more energetic and can penetrate the celery cells more quickly. This allows for quicker absorption of water by the celery.
Does warm or cold water freeze first?
cold water
How long will it take for warm water to freeze?
The time it takes for warm water to freeze depends on factors such as the initial temperature of the water, the volume of water, and the surrounding temperature. Generally, warm water will freeze faster than cold water due to the Mpemba effect, but it still typically takes a few hours to freeze completely in a standard freezer.
Do flowers drink cold water or warm water faster?
cold water faster
Does a boat sink in hot warm or cold water faster?
It sinks faster in hot water than warm or cold
Why does water freeze faster?
because water is generally cold unless heated in a kettle. Coffee on the other hand is warm when you make it so if the water is colder to start with it will take less time to freeze.
Does warm water freeze faster than cold water?
An unresolved question! See Mpemba Effect in wikipedia for the best experimental conditions for this anomaly!
Which moves faster cold or warm water?
Warm water of course.
Which freezes faster cold warm or hot water?
The process of water freezing into ice involves the temperature of water being lowered to 32 degrees Celsius. Hot water will take longer to freeze because the difference between the temperature of hot water and 32 degrees is greater than the temperature of cold water and 32 degrees.
