← ScienceWhich 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.
