why is ice at 273k more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature
Ice at 273 K would absorb latent heat (latent heat is the heat released or absorb by a body or a thermodynamic system during a process without change in temperature  )  as well as the heat energy inorder to attain the room temperature .Water at 273 K would just absorb heat energy inorder toattain the room temperature .Thus the water at 273K would absorb less amount of heat energy from the surroundings as compared to ice at 273 K .Therefore ice at 273K is more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature .
