Which outcome occurs when a closed, insulated container holding supercooled water is vibrated?

A)Sudden ice formation and warming
B)Gradual temperature decrease continues
C)Uniform equilibrium cooling occurs slowly
D)Water remains liquid indefinitely long

💡 Explanation

A rapid phase transition occurs because the mechanical disturbance initiates homogenous nucleation, releasing heat as the supercooled water turns to ice. Therefore, sudden ice forms with temperature increase, rather than a more gradual cooling or remaining liquid.
