उत्तर
Although both ice cubes and iced water are at 0°C but ice cubes cool more quickly because each gram of ice requires additional 80 calories of heat to get converted into water at the same temperature, i.e., at 0°C. Hence, the cooling capacity of ice cubes is more than that of iced water.

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
| Gas |
Molar specific heat (Cv) (cal mol–1 K–1) |
| Hydrogen | 4.87 |
| Nitrogen | 4.97 |
| Oxygen | 5.02 |
| Nitric oxide | 4.99 |
| Carbon monoxide | 5.01 |
| Chlorine | 6.17 |
The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically, molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is 2.92 cal/mol K. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?
