Which outcome occurs when cooling a supersaturated salt solution?

A)Nucleation initiates crystal formation
B)Solubility increases exponentially
C)Boiling point temperature decreases
D)Pressure within solution rises rapidly

💡 Explanation

Nucleation of crystals happens because decreased temperature lowers the solution's ability to hold dissolved salt; this invokes a phase transition called crystallization. Therefore, initial 'seeds' form crystal complexes rather than remaining solvated because solubility is exceeded.
