Question

Ice-cream at 0°C feels colder than water at 0°C. Give reason for this observation.

Short/Brief Note

Solution

We know that we need to supply about 340 joule of heat per g, to convert ice at 0°C, into water at 0°C. It follows that that ice-cream, at 0°C, will draw more heat (about 340 joule more per gram) from burbody than water at 0°C. It, therefore, feels colder than water at 0°C.
