A woman informs her engineer husband that "hot water will freeze faster than cold water." He calls this statement nonsense but he does so in a polite sensitive manner. She answers by saying that she has actually timed the freezing process for ice trays in the home refrigerator and found that hot water does indeed freeze faster. As a friend, you are asked to settle the argument and preserve family harmony. Is there any logical explanation for the woman's observation

Answer:

Explanation:

It could be as a result of evaporation from the hot water causing it to have less mass than usual. Evaporation will allow the volume of the hot water to decrease and by so doing will cool faster than cold water which is at a higher mass. This is how I will explain my observations to them.
