Because given that colder air is removing heat from the water, there is more energy to remove from the warmer water. The RATE of cooling is constant regardless of the initial temperatures of either the water or the air. Except for the following : The freezing of water requires two different reductions in heat. You first lower the temperature to 32°F (0° C). At that point the water will not spontaneously freeze, because molecular motion has to stop for ice crystals to form their orderly lattice. This is easily observed when cooling water in a very cold environment : the temperature will drop steadily and at the same rate until it reaches 32°F, at which point the decline will halt temporarily until ice crystals are formed. Once the water is entirely ice, the ice's temperature will resume its former rate of cooling. The heat required to melt ice or freeze water at its freezing point is called the "heat of fusion", and a similar but varying heat is required for all other substances that experience a change in state from liquid to solid.

Which water freezes first boiling water cold water or room temperature.?

Cold water would freeze the fastest because freezing is a physical change brought on by temperature change, and the temperature of cold water is closer to freezing temperature than boiling or room temperature water. Therefore, it would take less time to reach freezing temperature.

How many watts to freeze water?

The amount of energy required to freeze water depends on the initial temperature of the water and the desired final temperature (0°C for freezing water). To calculate the power in watts needed to freeze water, you would need to know the mass of water, its initial temperature, and the time over which you want to freeze it.


What would freeze the fastest vinegar oil or water?

Water would freeze the fastest because it has a higher freezing point than vinegar and oil. Vinegar and oil have lower freezing points due to their chemical properties, so they would take longer to freeze compared to water.


Will moving water freeze?

Yes, moving water can freeze if the temperature drops low enough.
