Why ice at 0degree Celsius is more affective than water at 0 degree Celsius?

Answer 1

because the ice will first absorb heat while transitioning from 0 deg ice into 0 deg water, and then absorb some more while this 0 deg water then reaches temperature equilibrium with the liquid in the drink. If you only use water you'll only get that last equilibrium heat absorbtion.

Answer 2

Ice at 0 C (I m not using the degree symbol, keyboard prob) needs some extra heat to melt to water at 0 C. This extra heat is taken from the drink, which water at 0 C doen't take.

This extra heat is called Latent Heat of Fusion. It is about 80 cal/gm for ice.

Answer 3

because the ice needs energy to change state from solid to liquid that energy comes from the surrounding water. Cold water is not changing state so all you are doing is mixing water to an average temp.

Answer 4

Ice at 0 degrees Celsius requires energy to melt into water at 0 degrees Celsius. This energy, known as the latent heat of fusion, is absorbed from the surroundings, making ice more effective at absorbing heat compared to water at the same temperature. This property allows ice to cool substances more efficiently.

Answer 5

Because of Latent heat . Ice can absorb both heat and latent heat . Water absorbs only latent heat.

Answer 6

because water contains latent heat or hidden heat acquired by changing from ice to water while ice does not contain this heat so ice is more effective
