Heat travels faster in water because the molecules are more tightly packed

than the molecules in air, allowing more contact with ice and greater rate of heat transfer.

Does the temperature of the water, whether cold or warm, affect the rate at which it boils?

Yes, the temperature of the water does affect the rate at which it boils. Warmer water will boil faster than cold water because the molecules in warmer water have more energy and move faster, leading to a quicker boiling process.


Does honey dissolve quicker in warm water or cold water?

Does the eviorment effect how an ice cube melt?

Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.


What would happen if ice water was left out for hours?

well, the ice in it would melt, and the water would get warmer if it was in a hot climate,(a temperature warmer than the ice water) and if it was in a cold climate, (a temperature colder than the ice water) it would freeze or get colder.

If a test tube is full of water at 20 digrese in time would the water continue to get colder?

The future temperature of the water depends upon the surrounding air's temperature. So if the air around the test tube is colder than 20 degrees, then the water will get colder. If the air temperature is warmer than 20 degrees then the water will get warmer.


Does salt water melt quicker than regular water?

water doesn't melt when salt is added to ICE it lowers the temperature at which water freezes.


Which is warmer tempid or hot water?

What causes well water to be cooler?

I would assume it has to do with being out of the sun, seeing that if snow is in the sun it melts quicker, so if water is in the sun it'll be warmer than water in a well.


Why water evaporates on a hot day quicker than a cold day?

The rate of evaporation depends on the temperature.
