    If a drop of water at 0degree celsius falls in a container containing water at 90 degree celsius, what would happen? Will there be any change in the temperature of the water in the container?

    Unless the container is very small, the change would be so small as to be immeasurable.

    If the drop was 0.1mL (average), the container held only 8.9mL (tiny), and the heat capacity of the container itself is negligible (unlikely), then the temperature would drop by only 1 degree C.
