When water freezes to form ice, which one of the following statements is true?

A. The temperature decreases during freezing as energy is lost

B. There is no energy lost by the water as it freezes, because the temperature does not change

Answer #1

During freezing of water to form ice, temperature remains constant ( usually 0 C or 32 F). However, energy is released to the surroundings and energy is lost.

When we placed a glass of water inside freezer, water releases heat energy to the surroundings and its temperature decreases. However, in liquid state the velocity of water molecule is higher and when water release energy, the molecules lose their kinetic energy and get closer to each other and finally form hydrogen bond to become ice. So, freezing of water is exothermic process during which system loses energy.

So correct option is (c).

Entropy change when supercooled water freezes It is possible, with care, to cool water below its freezing point without causing the water to freeze. This is referred to as supercooling. Suppose that you did this, and had 115 g of supercooled water at -6.35 oC (6.35 oC below the freezing point) in a perfectly insulated container. 1. Now suppose that the supercooled water suddenly and spontaneously changes to a mixture of ice and water (that is, it partially freezes). Assume...

Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices The freezing of liquid water produces energy and is exothermic. The boiling of liquid water requires energy and is endothermic. More than one of these choices is correct. The melting of a sheet of ice produces energy and is endothermic. The formation of solid frost on a car window from water vapor in the air releases energy and is endothermic.
