Why is it that when hot water is poured in a glass with powder, it dissolves quickly but when cold water is poured, it formes clumps and doesn’t dissolve easily?
In: Chemistry
Start with ‘heat’, which is different that temperature. Heat is the motion energy of all the particles that make up a substance – in this case, water. The particles in a hot thing are moving much faster than the particles in a cold thing. In the water, all this extra motion will help push around the powder you are trying to dissolve, helping it to mix in more quickly.
