In summary, the experiment described involves putting 1 kg of 0 degree celsius ice into a cup of 0 degree celsius cold water. If the system is isolated, both the temperature of the ice and the water will remain unchanged and the total internal energy will also remain unchanged. This is because at the temperature of the phase transition, both phases coexist and there is no energy transfer between the mixture and the surroundings. Even if the ice melts, the energy released by the ice is not enough to lower the temperature of the water and the ice cannot rise in temperature due to the absence of heat transfer. However, if energy is added to the ice, it can transform into liquid water and the temperature will remain unchanged unless the 0

It is given that:

1 kg of 0 degree celsius ice is put into a cup of 0 degree celsius cold water.

is the temperature of the ice and the water remains unchanged?

or the total internal energy remains unchanged?

THX!

I don't think it will be cold water anymore

If the system is isolated, both are true.

Why? At the temperature of the phase transition, both phases coexist.

Oh, I see.:shy: Thanks

oh I forget to say
Assume there is no energy transfer between the mixture and the surroundings.

But I think in this way,

Even if the ice melts, the energy released by the ice is not enough to lower the temperature of the water. And the temperature of the ice cannot rise because there is no heat transfer.

:confused: You need to add energy to ice to transform it into liquid water.

So, will the temperature remain unchanged?

Yes, unless you want to violate the 0th law of thermodynamics.

Absent any chemical reaction (including dissolution), mixing two things of the same temperature together can only result in something at the same temperature.
 

1. What is heat?

Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between objects or systems due to a temperature difference. It flows from hotter objects to colder objects until thermal equilibrium is reached.

2. Is heat and temperature the same thing?

No, heat and temperature are not the same thing. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while heat is the transfer of energy between two objects due to a temperature difference.

3. How is heat measured?

Heat is measured in units of energy, such as joules or calories. The amount of heat transferred is proportional to the mass of the object, the temperature difference, and the specific heat capacity of the substance.

4. Can heat be created or destroyed?

No, according to the law of conservation of energy, heat cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one object to another.

5. What are the different sources of heat?

The sun is the primary source of heat for the Earth. Other sources include chemical reactions, nuclear reactions, and friction. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels also contribute to the production of heat.
