Gases Our fundamental understanding of"ideal gases makes the following 4 assumptions. Describe how each of these assumptions is (or is not!) represented in the simulation. Assumption of KMT Representation in Simulation 1. Gas particles are separated by relatively large distances. 2. Gas molecules are constantly in random motion and undergo elastic collisions (like billiard balls) with each other and the walls of the container 3. Gas molecules are not attracted or repulsed by each other 4. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules in a sample is proportional to temperature (in K). 245 CHEM10 - Laboratory Manual/Lab 19

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
