Question

soft drinks are cooled by placing them in ice at 0degree c rather than water at 0 degree c

Answer 1

this is because water at 0c already has latent heat absorbed in it therefore it will not provide much cooling.hence drinks are cooled by placing in ice which is more effective

Answer 2

1g of ice melts, and absorbs 336j of heat and make the soft drinks cooler. in water at 0degree can absorbs only 4.2j of heat from the soft drinks
