Increase in enthalpy of the surroundings

Question:

Increase in enthalpy of the surroundings is equal to the decrease in enthalpy of the system. Will the temperature of the system and surroundings be the same when they are in thermal equilibrium?

Solution:

As thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics, temperature of system and surroundings will be the same when they are in thermal equilibrium.
