Hey... I thought only smart people were supposed to read this thread! J/K


How about this:the most likely explanation is the water vapor carries away a certain amount of heat. when water cools down from near boiling to the freezing point, as much as 16 percent evaporates away, compared to 7 percent for water at 160 degrees. The smaller the amount of water, of course, the faster it freezes. The hotter the water, the faster it will freeze.
happiestmferoutthere Reviewed by happiestmferoutthere on . smart people plz i have a question. you have hot water, then you have cold water. which will freeze faster? is it obviously the cold water, because water goes from hot to warm to cold to freezing, or is there some unknown factor that you might not know about that would lead to a conclusion of hot water freezing faster? im doing an experiment.
