← ScienceWhich outcome results when a closed, insulated container holds supercooled liquid crossing into the solid phase?
A)Temperature increases due to latent heat✓
B)Pressure decreases during phase transition
C)Entropy remains constant near zero
D)Volume increases upon solidification onset
💡 Explanation
Nucleation starts the phase change, therefore crystal growth via latent heat release warms the liquid because energy converting to higher kinetic energy than before rather then total energy leaving during transition.
