Which outcome occurs when supercooled liquid tin undergoes rapid phase transition to solid at its melting point?

💡 Explanation

When supercooled tin undergoes freezing, the rapid phase transition releases latent heat because the liquid has a lower energy state, causing the surrounding regions to temporarily overheat. Therefore latent heat induced overheating results, rather than void formation, conductivity decrease, or deformation which involve alternative mechanisms at freezing.
