In the question, if in the two containers there is the same amount of liquid, then the liquid will not be able to flow into either container as there is an equilibrium as in heat.

If there is an equilibrium of temperatures in both objects, heat will not flow same happens here. I think it is correct.

Try to explain everything.

Siphon is a long bent pipe carry water from one reservoir to another reservoir when both reservoir separated by hill or higher elevation. It is generally inverted V shaped structure.

Siphon helps us to carry water from one tube to another.

A siphon is a tube which has two unequal limbs used to draw liquid of different heights in the vessels involved mainly two provided that the density and temperature of the liquid in the two vessels are the same.

A siphon is a bent tube that is used to draw water from a reservoir to another tank at a point.

Because from high pressure to low pressure the phenomenon of siphon works so at the same height it does not work.

Where does these legs of a siphon appear while siphon is a tube.

Siphon is a mechanism, which is based on the pressure difference between a horizontal pipe connected to two vertical pipe. The smaller pipe is dumped in the liquid and other end is opened to the reservoir.
