Which liquid freezes the fastest(milo, oil, milk, coffee or syrup)?

Question

I've been wondering of all the liquids stated, which liquid freezes the fastest? Everyone knows different liquids freezes at different rates. Which liquid do you think freezes the fastest and why?

Answer 1

I think milk freezes faster as it has not much foreign substance in it.
Milo n coffee should be according to their concentration....
If they are more concentrated then the time needed to freeze then will be longer.
syrup will be next.the explaination is similar to milo n coffee.this is becoz syrup is very concentrated n contains a lot of foreign molecules such as glucose,water, colouring, preservative and so on....It will be hard for the substances to pile up together to form solid with different molecular structure.
As for oil,it will never freeze no matter how low the concentration is as oil is unsaturated.oil has double bond dat bent the structure of its molecules and prevent them to pile up in a uniform order to form solid.

Answer 2

Hard to say; you don't specify certain things about the liquids (2% milk? whole milk? skim? And the coffee -- how strong did you make it?) Since the milo is basically milk with some sugar and flavor added (it's like chocolate milk, for those of you who have never heard of it... made by Nestle), I'd say the milo and milk would freeze about the same time. If I absolutely had to guess, I'd say the coffee would freeze first, assuming all liquids were measured the same and started out at room temperature... the coffee (black) has the least stuff in it, and thus would freeze the closest to 0 C. Milk and milo have fats and proteins that might interfere with the freezing process and lower the freezing point a bit. Definitely oil and syrup would be last, oil because it has a very low freezing point to begin with, and the syrup because the concentration of sugars depresses the freezing point a good bit lower than plain water.

Answer 3

don't know the specific answer to your question, but I do know that some of the substances you listed are not pure liquids.
Milo, for example is a colloid, that is, it is a liquid with solid particles suspended in it. syrup may also be a colloid if there are crystals in it that have not dissolved in the liquid
colloids would certainly freeze differently than liquids.
oil never really freezes, I don't think - it becomes viscous (thicker) at cooler temperatures, but I have put veg oil and olive oil in the freezer to keep them longer and they haven't frozen, although they did change colour - became more opaque

Answer 4

According to me Milk will freeze faster , because milk is least viscous of all liquids and in low viscous liquids heat transfer through convection is more rapid than in other liquid.

Answer 5

Orange Juice

Answer 6

Coffee. It seems that coffee would be the one that the molecules are farthest apart, hence freezing faster.

Answer 7

according to my knowledge in chem it must probably be milk that freezes faster

Answer 8

Probably coffee..
