Solution
- Cooling refers to the loss of heat from the body.
- In the case of Ice at 0oC, ice will take latent heat from the system to convert its state from solid to liquid and then water at high temperature.
- But in the case of water at 0oC, water does not require any latent heat.
- Hence, Ice at 0oC is more effective in cooling as compared to water at 0oC.
