You are planning on making punch and you would like to cool it with ice. At the

store, there are 2 different one-pound bags of ice to choose from:

one that contains large ice cubes

one that contains small ice chips.

You only want to purchase one bag of ice and will add the entire bag to the punch.

Would one of the bags cool the punch at a faster rate? If so, which one and
why? If not, why?

Would one of the bags of ice cool the punch to a lower temperature? If so,
which one and why? If not, why?

The small ice chips because they are smaller so they will melt faster and keep it cool
