When gas expands, it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, causing it to cool down. This is known as the Joule-Thomson effect. Water, on the other hand, has a higher specific heat capacity, so it can absorb more heat before its temperature changes significantly.

Can domestic gas freeze?

Yes, but it freezes colder than water.


What different forms that water takes as altitude increases?

At higher altitudes it is colder. The cooler air can't hold the water in gas form so it condenses out as clouds.


What is colder vapor or plain water?

Vapor comes from the water's steam so therefore, plain water is colder IF it is room temperature or colder. It obviously wouldn't be colder if it was boiling.


Does dry ice make water colder?

Yes, it will make water colder.


Which is colder a gas at -143 degrees or a gas at -245 degrees?

A gas at -245 degrees is colder than a gas at -143 degrees. Temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, and the lower the temperature, the slower the particles are moving, making it colder.


How does temperature work with water?

Hotter the temperature the hotter the water or the colder the temperature the colder the water gets


Change from a gas to a liquid?

Is water vapour condensing an exothermic process?

Yes. Condensation would be going from gas to liquid. That means it gets colder. Temperature is a measure of energy. So the colder it is, the less energy. If it gets colder, it looses energy. Loosing energy is exothermic.


Do molecules of water that encounter colder air temperatures speed up?

No, molecules of water slow down when encountering colder air temperatures due to a decrease in kinetic energy. This can lead to water molecules transitioning from a gas state to a liquid state as they lose energy and move closer together.


Which is colder tap water or bottled water?

How much colder is the temperature of water compared to the temperature of the air?

The temperature of water is typically colder than the temperature of the air.


Does water temperature get warmer or colder the further down you go?

Usually, water temperature gets colder the further down you go in the ocean. This is because sunlight penetrates the surface layers, warming the water there, but not as much light reaches the deeper layers. This creates a temperature gradient with warmer water at the surface and colder water at depth.
