← ScienceWhich outcome typically occurs when ice water undergoes adiabatic expansion?
A)Decrease in remaining unfrozen water✓
B)Increase in ice lattice imperfections
C)Water transitions further into gas
D)Temperature of system remains constant
💡 Explanation
Adiabatic expansion causes cooling, which triggers ice formation from remaining water via the Le Chatelier's principle, because the system opposes the expansion's cooling effect which favors ice formation; therefore, ice mass increases rather than melts, and the water shifts phase toward solid.
