- Researchers have conducted experiments which show hot water freezes faster than cold water, as per a phenomenon known as Mpemba Effect.
- It is named after Tanzanian student Erasto Mpemba, who brought attention to this counterintuitive phenomenon in 1969.
- According to it, hot water evaporates more rapidly, reducing its mass and inducing a cooling effect.
- Possible causes include microbubbles, evaporation, the presence of frost in cold water, and the effect of compounds precipitated by boiling.
- When heated, Hydrogen bonds in water break, causing water molecules to move apart and facilitating quicker freezing due to energy loss.
