Which consequence results when water transitions to supercooled state?

A)Increased rate of ice crystal nucleation
B)Decreased thermal expansion coefficient
C)Formation of stable clathrate hydrates
D)Elevated vapor pressure at interfaces

💡 Explanation

Supercooled water is liquid below the freezing point. Homogeneous nucleation occurs because the Gibbs free energy favors crystal seed formation and growth; therefore, ice crystals form at accelerated rates when a trigger is present, rather than remaining liquid at that temperature.
