Question
Ice cream appears colder to the mouth than water at 0℃. Give reason.

Solution
This is because 1 g of ice at 0°C takes 336 J of heat energy from the mouth to melt at 0°C. Thus, mouth loses an additional 336 J of heat energy for 1 g of ice at 0°C than for 1g of water at 0°C. Therefore, cooling produced by 1 g of ice at 0°C is more than for 1g of water at 0°C.
