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.

What is one reason that room temperature water boils faster than cold water?

Room temperature water boils faster than cold water because it is closer to the boiling point, requiring less energy to reach that point. Cold water must first be heated to room temperature before it can reach the boiling point, delaying the process.


What happens when you leave the mixtue of hot and cold water in a room for 24 hours?

The hot water will slowly lose heat to the room, causing it to cool down. Conversely, the cold water will absorb heat from the room, causing it to warm up. Eventually, both containers will reach room temperature.


Why would a glass of cold water reach room temperature faster than a bucket of cold water?

It takes less time to cool or heat a galls of water because there is less water. If it was a spoon of water it would take less time than a bucket. It is all about amount.


What freezes first Hot or COld water?

Cold water...but if the water is heated than let still to room temp, it will freeze faster than regular room temp water *Because the time taken for something to cool to the temperature of its surroundings is proportional to the temperature (Newton's Law of Cooling and proceeding from there), the object with the higher temperature will take longer, thus the cold water freezes first. If the objects have the same initial temperature, they will take the same time to freeze (assuming identical conditions and a constant temperature in the surroundings for all objects). The above answer would be correct in realistic terms because boiling 'hard' water removes the dissolved ions from it (you may have noticed the "fur" in an electric jug) and raises the freezing temperature compared to unboiled water.


Is room temperature water less dense than cold water?

Yes, generally speaking, room temperature water is less dense than cold water. As water cools, it contracts and becomes denser, which is why cold water is often heavier than warm water.

What gets cold first hot or cold water?

Isn't cold water already cold? I would say cold water gets cold first. I've heard that hot water freezes faster than cold water.

What did Romans call the cold water room in their bath houses?

The cold water room was called the "fridgedarium".


What is room temp water?

Room temperature water is water that has been allowed to reach the temperature of the surrounding room, generally around 68-77°F (20-25°C). It is neither hot nor cold, making it comfortable for drinking or cooking.

How long does it take cold water to turn room temperature?

The time it takes for cold water to reach room temperature can vary depending on the volume of water and the temperature difference. Generally, it can take around 30 minutes to an hour for a glass of cold water to reach room temperature.


Why does cold water in a tube sink to the bottom of room temperature water?

Cold water is dense and cold water sinks, just like air, cold air falls and hot air rises.


How long does it take for cold liquid to reach room temperature?

It takes about two hours.


Is taking vitamins with cold water not good?

hey, cold water is not as healthy as room tempt water . so it would be health-yer for u if you took then with room water. hope this has helped.


In which direction did transfer of heat occur in your finger dipped in cold water?

Heat transfer occurred from your finger to the cold water, as heat moves from a higher temperature region (your finger) to a lower temperature region (the water) in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
