Timeline for Why won't there be any transfer of heat energy when ice at 0°C is in contact with water at 0°C in a closed container?

You've got to get rid of the idea of something containing heat. As long as the water was 0C before mixing with 0C ice, there can't be any energy transfer from the water to the ice in the form of heat. | |

However the temperature would still remain the same (0°C) | |

When this water is kept with ice in a closed container ( let the mass of ice and water be same and the temperature for both be 0°C) some part of that latent heat absorbed by water should have transferred from water to ice such that the energy content for both ice and water equal. | |
