No, boiling water cannot freeze in the air. Boiling water needs to cool down before it can freeze, and the air is not cold enough to freeze boiling water instantly.

Can you freeze water at its boiling point?

No, the water's molecules are moving too fast at its boiling point to freeze.


What happens when you throw boiling water in freezing air?

When you throw boiling water in freezing air, the water quickly evaporates and turns into tiny droplets or ice crystals. This happens because the extreme temperature difference causes the water to rapidly cool and freeze before it hits the ground.


Why does a hot plate break when put under cold water?

A fast change in temperature same reason boiling water will freeze if its below 32 and you throw it in the air.


What happens when you freeze boiling water?

When you freeze boiling water, it rapidly cools down and turns into ice. The extreme temperature change causes the water molecules to slow down and solidify, forming ice crystals.

How does the process of boiling water differ in cold air compared to warm air?

When boiling water in cold air, it may take longer to reach boiling point due to the lower temperature. In warm air, the water may boil faster because the surrounding air is already closer to the boiling point.


Why is your water tank steaming?

you need anti freeze. this also stops the water from boiling over (will not allow water to turn to steam when heated or freeze in sub zero temperatures).


How do waterfalls freeze?

if the air gets cold enough it can freeze water.


Can Boiling Water Freeze In Mid-air?

Yes actually, A cup of boiling hot water thrown into very cold air (for example, at −37°C, or −35°F, as shown in the photograph) will almost instantly freeze in midair and create a shower of tiny ice crystals. There are several reasons behind this phenomenon. First, the near-boiling water is already close to becoming steam when it is thrown into the air, which means that the water molecules are much closer to evaporating into the vapor state than they would be if the water were cold. Second, the act of throwing the water into the air causes it to break up into tiny droplets. The water that was contained in the cup (which originally had a relatively small surface exposed to the air) now experiences a tremendous increase in the total surface area exposed to the air. This situation helps to speed up the evaporation process (evaporation is the process of turning from a liquid to a vapor). Finally, very cold air typically has a low humidity level (that is, a low amount of water vapor present). This is yet another factor aiding the transition from liquid water, to water vapor, to ice crystals. At sufficiently low temperatures, this process seems to occur almost instantaneously.


What are the bubbles in boiling water made of?

the bubbles in boiling water is water in a gasious state rising to the surface.


What 2 things does anti freeze change?

The boiling point AND the freezing point of water.


Why is it incorrect to say that air bubbles form in boiling water?

Air bubbles do not form in boiling water because boiling occurs when water turns to vapor, not because of the presence of air. What can happen is that dissolved gases in the water can be released as bubbles while it heats up, but these are not air bubbles.
