Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ice absorbs heat from the water. As the water molecules lose energy, they begin to slow down, and consequently to cool. So, it's kind of the opposite of what we might think: when we put ice in water, the ice doesn't give its cold to the water, it takes heat from the water.
