Ice melts at 0degC. It takes 80 calories of heat put into the ice to melt 1 gram of it. So ice in a cooler can never get above 0decC. It takes time to put all that heat through the insulated cooler wall to melt all the ice. Once it's completely water, then the water can slowly rise above 0degC.
Mixing strong acid with water hydrates the hydrogen ion, which is a strongly exothermic reaction:
H+ + H2O ===> H3O+
So do like yer oughter: Add acid to water.

ice will melt at 0 degrees c. when the ice is in a cooler. it will be below 0 degrees c and will not melt.
