Why an ice cube at 0 °C is more effective in cooling a drink than the same mass of water also at 0 °C.
Added by Aaron A.
Step 1
When an ice cube at 0 ˚C is added to a drink, it needs to absorb heat from the drink to melt. This process is called the heat of fusion, which is the amount of heat required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid state without changing its temperature. For Show more…
