← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an ice slurry used for rapid food cooling experiences decreased agitation?
A)Supercooling becomes increasingly sustained
B)Dendritic ice crystal growth accelerates✓
C)Equilibrium vapor pressure is elevated
D)Homogeneous nucleation events concentrate
💡 Explanation
Decreased agitation reduces heat transfer, therefore the Gibbs-Thomson effect causes accelerated dendritic ice crystal growth, because solute concentrates at the solid–liquid interface driving non-equilibrium solidification, rather than sustained supercooling which requires homogeneous mixing under high pressure.
