← ScienceWhich effect occurs when supercooled water suddenly crystallizes?
A)Latent heat is rapidly released✓
B)Kinetic energy greatly dissipates
C)Thermal expansion rate reverses
D)Volumetric stress becomes compressive
💡 Explanation
Latent heat is rapidly released during crystallization because a phase transition from liquid to solid releases energy; this is exothermic heat transfer, therefore internal energy decreases, rather than increasing the substance's temperature.
