Question
Explain why, ice at $0^\circ\ C$ is more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature.
✓
Answer
This is due to the fact that for melting, each kilogram of ice takes its latent heat of $3.34 \times 105$ joules from the substance and hence cools the substance more effectively. On the other hand, water at $0^\circ\ $ cannot take any such latent heat from the substance.
