Question

Why ice at 273 k is more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature?

Answer 1

✔✅So, water at 273k has more energy as compared to ice at 273k,since ice can easily absorb energy from surrounding in the from of latent heat to form water whereas water has no such privilege hence ice is more effective in cooling than water at same temperature

Answer 2

Water as ice has a cooling effect whereas water as steam may cause severe burns. Whereas, when temperature is increased to 100oC, water is converted to steam. Water as steam has more latent heat than water in liquid and solid form. Hence, water as steam can cause severe burns while water as ice has a cooling effect.
