Question
Wired Faculty App

We add a piece of ice into water at 0°C. Will the ice melt? 

Answer

No, the ice will not melt. Here, both ice and water are at same temperature. Therefore, heat will not flow from water to ice. So, ice will not melt. 
There should be a gradient in the temperature for the flow of heat to take place.
