← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when supercooled liquid's temperature suddenly rises above its crystallization point?
A)Rapid exothermic phase transition occurs✓
B)Endothermic re-cooling toward equilibrium
C)Viscosity decreases linearly with temperature
D)Density remains constant due to incompressibility
💡 Explanation
When a supercooled liquid suddenly warms above its crystallization point, rapid nucleation initiates, causing a phase transition because the system seeks a lower energy state, releasing latent heat in the process. Therefore, an exothermic reaction occurs, rather than endothermic cooling, linear viscosity decrease, or constant density, all require different thermophysical properties in the liquid.
