Which behavior results when rapid heating super-cools water?

A)Homogeneous nucleation causes rapid ice formation
B)Heterogeneous nucleation delays boil formation
C)Heat transfer increases with cavitation
D)Superheating leads to faster boiling

💡 Explanation

Homogeneous nucleation occurs because phase change requires overcoming energy barrier and rapid heating lowers the critical nucleus size below thermal fluctuations, therefore rapid ice formation will happen with supercooled water, rather than cavitation or superheating.
