Question

Pieces of ice added to a drink cool it much faster than ice cold water added to it because

• A. Ice pieces at 0°C possess latent heat of fusion, whereas water at 0°C does not possess latent heat of fusion
• B. Ice pieces at 0 °C possess heat capacity, whereas water at 0 °C does not possess latent heat of fusion
• C. Ice pieces at 0°C do not possess heat capacity, whereas water at 0°C does not possess latent heat of fusion
• D. Ice pieces at 0°C do not possess latent heat of fusion, whereas water at 0°C possess latent heat of fusion

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Ice pieces at 0°C do not possess latent heat of fusion, whereas water at 0°C possess latent heat of fusion

Ice pieces at 0°C do not possess latent heat of fusion, whereas water at 0°C possesses latent heat of fusion. Therefore, ice will absorb more heat from drink during melting as compared to water. That is why, the cooling it is better with Ice.
