sorry, question very hard to understand.

Do you mean does boiling water freeze quicker than normal cold water from the tap?

There is a special case where the hot water freezes quicker I think. some have said that this is due to the fact that some of the water being boils has boiled off, and therefore the hotter one has less water to freeze, but also you have lot of complicated things like Eddie currents inside the water that could help it freeze.

Its hard to say why this has been seen to happen, because water has a very high specific heat capacity, so you would think it impossible for cold water to freeze before hot water.

Which freezes faster hot water or cold water?

Cold water will freeze faster. Because the freezing point of water is 0oC, water that is closer to that point will freeze faster then hot water. This is because it will require less time to lower the temperature to the freezing point.


What is the purpose of the ice-cold water to obtain pure water from salt water?

Ice-cold water is often used in the process of distillation to help condense water vapor back into liquid form. When salt water is heated, it evaporates, leaving the salt behind. The cold water cools the vapor, causing it to condense and collect as pure water. This method effectively separates the salt from the water, producing distilled water.

What happens when hot water is on top of cold water?

Hot water is lighter then cold water so it would stay up on top of cold water till both waters naturalize to the same temp. a good example is a water heater and (if its not to old) open your drain at the bottom of the water heater and if your dip tube is still good you should always get cold water out of it even if the water heater is on and your water heater pressure is on.
