Question

Which is more effective in cooling and why: ice at 0°c or water at 0°C?​

Answer 1

Ice is more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature because ice can absorb latent heat as well as the heat energy in order to attain room temperature. Water at 0 C can absorb heat energy only to attain the room temperature.

Because water has high specific heat capacity so its stores more heat and is unable to cool things very easily at zero degree celsius that is why we use ice because it has low specific heat which means that it stores less heat inside it. Because ice release the latent heat when it change from liquid to solid.
