Hot water molecules travel faster then cold water and when they smash together, they stick together, thus freezing faster. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Fritsche" <d_fritsche@xxxxxxxxxx> To: wynsum@xxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 10:28:58 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] YES HOT WATER FREEZES FASTER Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions. Doc Zoe .......................................... Ah, you're pulling my leg. This can't be. Instead of relying on opinions of those who live in warm climates like Athens and Africa, I demand an experiment by reliable dog people on the list. Since it is warm and balmy here in Reno and above average in temperatures, I do not have the environment with which to experiment. So I was wondering if someone in the frozen East would conduct a controlled experiment on this. Just set out two dog buckets, one with tap water and one with boiling water and stand out there with a stop watch until they both freeze and calculate the time. Someone, in the interest of science should be delighted with the opportunity to just stand out there and watch! <G> Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
