#9: Hot Water Freezes Faster Than Cold Water
The ‘Mpemba Effect’ may result in hot water having weaker hydrogen bonds, which rearrange as it cools, making ice formation easier and faster under certain conditions. Attempts to explain the phenomenon suggest that hot water loses more mass through evaporation, reducing the amount of liquid that needs to freeze or that hot water has stronger convection currents, which distribute heat more efficiently as it cools, helping it freeze faster than stagnant cold water.
