A science student ina science fair demonstrated the existence of water and ice in same container at 0°C and water and steam in a same closed container at 100°C. Explain how is it possible to have two different states of matter at the same temperature.

Answer:
When we supply heat energy to ice,it's temperature increases till it reaches to its melting point i.e. 0°C but ice continues to be only on further supply of heat energy there is no rise in the temperature and the ice gets converted into water as same 0°C temperature. Heat supply is used for phase transformation.The heat is absorbed to change solid to liquid to gas.Hence,it is possible to have two different states of matter at the same temperature.
Answer :- the reason behind this is that when we supply heat to ice or remove heat from water, the states will remain in the same temperature that is 0°C for some times as the particles need to change their state completely. The temperatures will remain constant till the time the whole ice is melted or the whole water is cooled. similar thing happens with steam and water.
HOPE IT HELPS.
