Question

Why do bottled soft drinks get cooled, more quickly, by the ice cubes than by the iced water?

Answer 1

Although both ice cubes and iced water are at 0°C but ice cubes cool more quickly because each gram of ice requires additional 80 calories of heat to get converted into water at the same temperature, i.e., at 0°C. Hence, the cooling capacity of ice cubes is more than that of iced water.
