Why does 50 g of water initially at 0 ?C warm more quickly than 50 g of an ice/w

Question

Why does 50 g of water initially at 0 ?C warm more quickly than 50 g of an ice/water mixture initially at 0 ?C. Why does 50 of water initially at 0 warm more quickly than 50 of an ice/water mixture initially at 0 . Because the heat absorbed in the ice/water mixture goes to melting the ice before it would go to increasing the water temperature. Because ice has higher heat capacity than water and thus it requires more heat for its temperature to increase. Because ice has lower heat capacity than water and thus the ice/water mixture absorbs less heat from the surroundings than water. Because some water evaporates and the heat gained in the evaporation process is absorbed by the water.

Explanation / Answer

50 g of water initially at 0 oC warm more quickly than 50 g of an ice/water mixture initially at 0 oC because a part of the supplied heat is utilized to melt ice and produce water at 0 oC.

Answer

Because the heat absorbed in the ice/water mixture goes to melting the ice before it would go to increasing the water temperature
