Which outcome occurs when thermal energy increases in supercooled water?

A)Crystallization via homogeneous nucleation occurs rapidly
B)Density increases, causing convective heat transfer
C)Latent heat increases without changing size
D)Viscosity increases due to hydrogen bonding

💡 Explanation

If enough energy increases within unstable supercooled water, spontaneous crystallization occurs through homogeneous nucleation, a first-order phase transition. This solidification releases latent heat; therefore, a rapid change in crystalline form is preferred, rather than convection or increased viscosity.
