Has anyone thought to run the experiment, and then examine the structure of the ice after it’s frozen?
Maybe the hot water is somehow more able to align its molecules in a crystal structure faster, and this somehow causes it to freeze first?
- bergerjac 4y agoIn 11th-grade 'Honors' Chemistry, we ran the 'Which water freezes faster' experiment outside in ~0℉. 2 glass beakers with same amount of water: 1 hot, 1 cold, stirring both at the same rate. Teacher told us the experiment was over once ice starting forming on the surface… Cold water developed ice first.
