1.0) INTRODUCTION

According to the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, if two bodies are in thermal

equilibrium with a third body, they are likewise in thermal equilibrium with one
another. When two bodies are brought into touch with one other and separated by
a heat-permeable barrier, thermal equiAccording to the Zeroth Law of
Thermodynamics, if two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third body, they
are likewise in thermal equilibrium with one another. When two bodies are
brought into touch with one other and separated by a heat-permeable barrier,
thermal equilibrium means that no heat is transferred from one to the other.

In essence, this means that the three bodies have the same temperature. "All heat
is of the same kind," said James ClerkMaxwell, maybe more succinctly. The
Zeroth Law identifies temperature as a fundamental and measurable attribute of
matter, which is crucial.librium means that no heat is transferred from one to the
other.

4.0) SAFETY PRECAUTION

1) To get a range value, measure the temperature of the substance numerous times.
2) Pay attention to what's going on around you.
3) To avoid misreading the reading, make sure the measurement tool is in working order.

5.0) WORKING PROCEDURE

Procedures Diagram

Measure each component.

Fill the bowl halfway with hot

water. Take your temperature after
10 seconds.

Then, after 10 seconds, add salt and

take the temperature.

Then, after 10 seconds, add the

spoon and take the temperature.

After that, add ice. Determine the

temperature after 10 seconds.

7.0) DISCUSSION

Discuss on the result?

Based on this experiment, I discovered that even though each component has a different
initial temperature, when these materials are mixed, the final temperature will be the
same and in thermal equilibrium, but due to the short time it takes to take temperature,
the temperature will only become nearly the same. According to the zeroth law, if two
thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in
thermal equilibrium with each other.

8.0) CONCLUSION

According to the zeroth law, if two thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium
with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. As a result, there
is a transitive relationship between thermal equilibrium and system. The temperature of
two systems in thermal equilibrium is the same. It will be demonstrated that the
thermodynamic state is unique, and that the thermodynamic variables have a one-to-one
relationship.
