Ice at 273 K is more effective in cooling,

Question.
Ice at 273 K is more effective in cooling, than water at the same temperature, why?

Solution:
At 0° both ice and water exist together. But the particle in water at 0°C have more energy as compared to particle in ice at the same temperature since during the change of state from ice to water, heat energy equal to latent heat of fusion has been absorbed. In the other words, ice, at 0°C is more effective in cooling a substance than water at 0°C.
