Science is AMAZING!Well, when you put it in the freezer, hot water becomes cold water before it becomes ice. So, cold water makes ice cubes FASTER, but there is otherwise no difference in the quality of said cubes. Forgot to make those ice cubes?Hot water when it hits the freezer makes ice faster. Generally every day for a week I make two trays of small ice cubes (with hot water) and then throw them into separate Glad bags and stick in the freezer. This way you don't have to buy a bag of ice at the last minute and always have plenty on hand for unexpected guests. ANSWER:Warm or hot water will make clearer cubes than cool water. If you want clear cubes, use warm water. cool water will have air bubbles in them. UPDATE:Using warm or hot water causes the icecubes to freeze slower, so in theory, it allows the air to leave the water more and form more solid cubes. In fact, if you boil water and get as much of the oxygen out of the water as possible, you are able to make very 'clear' ice cubes with very little imperfections in them (like on the soda commercials with the ice cubes that are perfectly crystal-clear).

CORRECT UPDATE

Yes, warmer water freezes before cold water. It is called the Mpemba Effect. And the reason the ice cube in soda commercials are perfectly clear is because they're made of glass.

Why don't ice cubes melt faster in cold water?

Ice cubes don't faster in cold water because the temparature of cold water is low, ice cubes melt faster in high temparature.


Do sugar cubes dissolve better in a hot place?

They will dissolve much quicker in warm or hot water than in cold water.


How do you keep ice cubes cold with natural materials?

How many sugar cubes can be dissolved in cold water?

The exact number of sugar cubes that can be dissolved in cold water depends on the size of the sugar cubes and the volume of water, but generally speaking, you can dissolve 1 sugar cube per 1 ounce of cold water. Keep in mind that the solubility of sugar decreases as the water temperature decreases.


Do sugar cubes dissolve faster in hot water or cold water?

Hot water


What are facts about melting ice cubes?

*melt because of heat *melt better when run under cold water *apparently salt melts it better google some more


Does salt or sugar work better in making water cold?

Salt works better in making water cold because it lowers the freezing point of water, allowing it to reach colder temperatures without freezing. Sugar does not have the same effect as salt on the freezing point of water.


Why do they say to use warm water to make ice cubes?

if u use cold water it becomes ice faster but warm water kills bacteria that r recreated or formed some how and is better to drink. :)


What is inside reusable ice cubes?

Reusable ice cubes are typically filled with distilled water or a non-toxic gel (such as polyethylene glycol) that can freeze and keep drinks cold without diluting them as traditional ice cubes would. Some reusable ice cubes are also filled with a non-toxic gel that can retain cold temperatures longer than water.


Does powdered juice dissolve better faster in hot or in cold water?

Powdered juice dissolves faster in hot water, but tastes better in cold water.


Does a plant grow better in warm water or cold water?

Cold water


Why does ice cubes melt faster in hot water than in cold water?

because atoms in hot water vibrate faster, and cold water vibrates slower, hence movement generates heat, heat speeds up the ice cube's atoms, as the ice cube's atoms speed up it begins to expand, spread out it's mass and melt.
