A. melting ice is lower temperature than ice-cold water
B. water has higher specific heat than ice
C. ice floats and cools the air above the drink
D. ice absorbs latent heat during melting
E. ice makes better thermal contact than water
Correct Answer:
Option D – ice absorbs latent heat during melting

![Calculate the quantity of heat needed to change the temperature of 60g of ice at 0 °C to 80 °C. [specific latent heat of fusion of ice= 3.36 x 105 Jkg‾¹ specific heat capacity of water 4.2 x 10³ J kg‾¹ K‾¹] past-questions-and-answers](https://erudites.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/past-questions-and-answers-150x150.jpg)
