Which behavior results when rapid heating super-cools water?

💡 Explanation

Homogeneous nucleation occurs because phase change requires overcoming energy barrier and rapid heating lowers the critical nucleus size below thermal fluctuations, therefore rapid ice formation will happen with supercooled water, rather than cavitation or superheating.
