Drinks are cooled more effectively by ice pieces at `0^(@)C` than by water at `0^(@)C` Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Because ice has high latent sp. Heat capacity `(336000J//Kg)` , 1g of ice takes away 336J of heat from the drink to melt into water at `0^(@)C`

Which contains more heat, 1 kg of ice at 0^(@)C or 1 kg of water at 0^(@)C ? Give reason for your answer.

A closed steel cylinder is completely filled with water at 0^(@)C . The water is made to freeze at 0^(@)C . Calculate the rise in pressure on the cylinder wall. It is known that density of water at 0^(@)C is 1000 kg//m^(3) and the density of ice at 0^(@)C is 910 kg//m^(3) . Bulk modulus of ice at 0^(@)C is nearly 9 xx 10^(9) Pa . [Compare this pressure to the atmospheric pressure. Now you can easily understand why water pipelines burst in cold regions as the winter sets in.]
