What is the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium with another system made up of ice and water at one atmosphere of pressure?
A)0 $\degree$F
B)273 K
C)0 K
D)100 $\degree$C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two systems are in thermal equilibrium, their temperatures are equal. At one atmosphere of pressure, ice and water coexist at the temperature of 273 K (0°C) during a continuous phase transition. Therefore, the temperature of the system in thermal equilibrium with the ice-water mixture is also 273 K.
