Ice takes a considerable amount of energy just to melt down to the 273k water. Hence, it can cool down whatever you want to cool down more effectively.

  • Water changes to ice at 0 degree C.In this change,heat is released so as to gain the suitable temperature for freezing.While in case of ice changing into water,the water releases the chillness so as to be a liquid.So, ice at 273K is more effective than water at the same temperature.

"Cooling" occurs when the substance being cooled (let's call it the "coolee" transfers some of its heat to the substance doing the cooling (the "cooler). Any time the cooler's temperature is lower than the coolee's the coolee's temperature will decrease, until the cooler and coolee have the same temperature.

If the cooler is a solid (like ice), at the melting point (0oC), then it is, of course, the same temperature as water at the freezing point, so it would seem that they would cool the coolee equally well. However, the ice cannot warm to above freezing until it is completely converted to water. And it takes a great deal of heat to melt ice. All of this heat is coming from the coolee.

Or look at it this way. Though ice and water, if both at the melting/freezing point, share the same temperature, the water actually contains far more heat energy than the ice. The ice, with less heat energy, can extract more heat from the coolee than the water can.

Latent heat of liquefaction.

In other words, ice has less heat than water at the same temp.

ice is more effective because during the process of boiling it has absorbed more heat equal to its latent heat of fusion

At 273K ice must absorb heat (approximately 6 kJ/mol) in order to melt before any temperature change can take place. Liquid water at the same temperature already has this amount of energy.

Ice at 0 degrees celsius is more effective in cooling than water at 0 degree celsius?

Yes, becasue of the latent heat, which is approx 80 cals per gram.


What are some of the advantages of water cooling?

Water cooling keeps your system cooler if you are constantly overclocking it. It does it far better than air cooling. However, the price for water cooling is higher than air cooling.


Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?

Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.

Can you drive a car with only water in the radiator?

Yes, you can. In fact, pure water is a more effective coolant than any mixture of water and antifreeze. However, it is not recommended that you run pure water in a cooling system for an extended length of time. Not only does antifreeze protect against freezing. It also contains corrosion inhibiters, which help prevent your engine and radiator from succumbing to corrosion. For these reasons, using only water in your cooling system is something you should do only when you have no choice (such as a roadside emergency). However, if pure water is used in a cooling system for this reason, the cooling system should be drained ASAP and refilled with the proper mixture of antifreeze and water.

Evaporative cooling - the water evaoprates and chills things slightly as it does so. (Doubt its very effective though)
