Warm air is less dense than cold air. The same is true of water. You decide to take a bath and turn on both the hot and cold faucets. When the tub is one-third full, you dip your hand in and discover the water is too cold. You turn the cold water faucet off and keep the hot water turned on. You leave the hot water running for ten minutes. When you return and dip your hand in, you discover that the water in the tub is different temperatures in different places. It is too hot close to the faucet and in a top layer across the entire tub. When you sit down, however, the water in the bottom of the tub is cold. Explain how this happens and why: • how the hot water ended up in a layer on the top and near the faucet. • why this is or is not a transfer of heat. • how the temperature of the water in the tub will change over time. • why you will eventually want to get out of the tub, considering the air and your porcelain enameled steel tub.
