Question

explain why ice at 0°C has greater cooling effect than water at 0°C.

Answer 1

this is due to latent heat the ice will have to attain more heat energy to increase tempurature yet water at the same tempurature will take less heat energy

Answer 2

Both ice and liquid water can exist at 0 degrees C. However, ice has a very significant heat of fusion (the number of calories required to melt melt each gram), whereas water has only its 1 calorie per gram per degree C specific heat. Therefore, ice (which must melt before it can go above 0 degrees) must absorb much more heat to increase its temperat
