Hot Water Vs Cold Water Essay

1472 Words6 Pages

Abstract— “An explanation for why hot water will sometime freeze more rapidly than cold water is offered. Two specimens of water from the same source will often have different spontaneous freezing temperatures; that is, the temperature at which freezing begins. When both specimens supercool and the spontaneous freezing temperature of the hot water is higher than that of the cold water, then the hot water will usually freeze first, if all other conditions are equal and remain so during cooling. The probability that the hot water will freeze first if it has the higher spontaneous freezing temperature will be larger for a larger difference in spontaneous freezing temperature. The keys to observing hot water freezing before cold water are supercooling the water and having a significant difference in the spontaneous freezing temperature of the two water specimens”. We observed in the experiment that the container of hot water is in better thermal contact with the freezer floor than the container of the cold water and heat will now …show more content…

Does it mean, is it related to the latent heat of freezing, or the appearance of the first ice crystal or the solidification of the last bit of liquid water? If you selected one of the above as your answer, how would you observe the time at which that event occurred in a specimen of water? For example, in Fig. 3, how long did it take for the water to freeze? Now, imagine that we have combined the results from eight different laboratories in which everything was identical, except for the positions of the thermocouples in the water. In this case, each laboratory would report a different time of freezing. These differences were a major barrier to obtaining reproducible results during the early phase of this study. A difference in position of only a few millimeters can be significant depending on the size of the container”

    When atoms are cold they sink because they are more compacted and don’t move around as much. Sink or Float was a lab that showed about temperature and density changes. With the cold water we saw it sink and just stay at the bottom of the container without moving. When the hot water was added it made it rise to the top of the container and spread. That showed us that the bottom layers would be hotter and the top layers would be colder.

    The Effects of Temperatures on Reaction Time of Alka-Seltzer Emily Reynolds October 11, 2015 General Biology Laboratory Northwest Missouri State University Mrs. Heather Meler   INTRODUCTION It has been observed that chemical reactions occur at different rates. But, what causes the rates to change? One of the most effective ways to find the answer to that question is through experiments. It has been learned through experimentation that the concentration of a chemical and the temperature can affect the rate of the reaction (Taylor and Mortimer 2002).

    Using the data from the first two columns, an x-y scatterplot graph was created. Analyzing the graph, a set of points that formed a linear curve were identified, and the plot of the graph was reduced to these points. This is the initial cooling curve. A second series was then added to the graph, with points that correspond to the interval when t-butyl alcohol was freezing. A trendline was then created for each of the series to obtain the equation of the line and r values.

    When temperature is increased, the amount of obtainable energy increases; meaning that particles will move at faster pace at a higher temperature. Thus rate at which molecules diffuse will progressively speed up as the temperature increases. However if temperature of solution is decreased the rate of osmosis will decrease and rate at which molecules diffuse will be significantly less than that of higher

  • Persuasive Essay On Bottled Water

    Bottled water is not a wise consumer choice because of its harmful environmental effects, health concerns and the better alternative solutions we could use in place of bottled water. It all started when the people of Bundanoon decided that they did not want an extraction plant in their quiet town, they thought that if they did not want an extraction plant there, then why should they sell the bottled water there too. Another reason they did not want the extraction plant was because it would be extracting water from their aquifer. If to much water is extracted from the aquifer, it would dry up and need to be replaced by new water quickly or it could collapse, leaving people to have to find new places to get clean, fresh water.

Then our results ρ vs T and also density vs temperature values given in the Steam Tables were plotted on the same graph in order to compare. In the second part the density of water was measured by density bottle. The densities obtained from the experiment are 995, 992.5, 991, 990 kg/m3 for the first part and

For Trial #2, 2.0019 grams of “Unknown C” were weighed and dissolved into the 11 dram vial. Once dissolved, the 11 dram vial was submerged into the ice bath, and the Vernier temperature probe was immersed into the 11 dram vial as well. Once the temperature of the aqueous solution reached 10°C, the temperature was recorded every 10 seconds.

I went over to a dark, cold corner to put my ice cube in because in a corner there might not be as much air flow so that heat can come in. I tried to find a low place because hot air and heat rises and when air gets cold it sinks lower than the hot air does. Then after everyone put there boxes down, we went back to our classes and waited. When my box was in the room, the three heat transfers were trying to get inside my

Why does the whole idea of taking a long shower sound so alluring and enveloping to me? The process of showering is as complex as all the neurons in my brain. All of the movements have a meaning and are a separate feeling for the mind and body.
