what happens if we put an icecube with 0°C in an isolated glass of water which is also at 0°C. What will happen to the water? what will happen to the icecube?

water that is zero degrees still in liquid form means that there is something in the water that is preventing it from consolidating (ions)
At zero temperature for both, there isno transfer of energy so the ice cubes will stay as ice cubes and the water will stay as water.

0 degrees is the triple point of water. ie it can exist in all three phases at standard atmospheric pressure.
Water must give up a certain amount of energy (heat) to freeze, called the latent heat of fusion. The same amount of energy must be absorbed for ice to melt.
If the ice cube is 0C and the water is 0C, then no heat will be transferred, as there needs to be a temperature difference to transfer heat.
The water will not lose the heat required to freeze, and the ice cube will not gain the heat required to melt. Therefore, no change will occur.

0* is also the melting point of ice... what will happen is that there will be shifts in phase of both the water and the ice... given a constant atmospheric temperature of 0* then the ice cube will remain the same size, because the net phase change from liquid to solid will be equal. However, there will be molecules of water freezing and others melting.

practically if the water is 0 Degrees it will turn into ice inself. The ice will allways melt if you put in the the freezing water cos the water is above the 0 degree and ice is 0 degree or below. The moment water reaches 0 degree it will turn into ice.

Hi. Isolated thermally? Then nothing will happen. You need to add heat to make the ice melt. You need to remove heat to make the water freeze. In an isolated environment neither of these will happen.

If the pressure is around 6 millibars, the ice, liquid water and water vapor will happily coexist. The triple point of water is 0.01degC at 6.1 millibars.

the water will be a little colder and you can drink it, it will quench your thirst
