Question
**Question:**

If you place 0°C ice into 0°C water in an insulated container, what will happen? Will some ice melt, will more water freeze, or will neither take place?

**Explanation:**

This question explores the concept of thermal equilibrium and heat transfer. Since both the ice and the water are at 0°C, no net heat exchange occurs between them. As a result, neither melting nor freezing is favored, and the system remains in equilibrium at 0°C. The insulated container prevents heat exchange with the surroundings, ensuring that the temperature is maintained.
