Which effect occurs when supercooled water suddenly crystallizes?

💡 Explanation

Latent heat is rapidly released during crystallization because a phase transition from liquid to solid releases energy; this is exothermic heat transfer, therefore internal energy decreases, rather than increasing the substance's temperature.
