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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Ice can absorb more heat when melting into water at 0 degrees Celsius compared to water at the same temperature, making it more effective at cooling. This is because the process of melting ice involves absorbing additional heat energy from the surroundings to break the bonds between ice molecules into liquid water molecules.
