Question

Freezing involves the conversion of :

• A. solid to a liquid state.
• B. liquid to a gaseous state.
• C. liquid to a solid-state.
• D. Solid to a gaseous state.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

liquid to a solid-state.

Explanation for correct answer:

c. liquid to a solid-state - Freezing is the process through which material transitions solid-state from a liquid to a solid-state.

Explanation for incorrect answers:

a. solid to a liquid state - Melting is the transformation of a solid into a liquid.

b. liquid to a gaseous state - Evaporation happens when particles in a liquid move straight into the gas state at temperatures lower than the liquid's boiling point.

d. Solid to a gaseous state - Sublimation is the process by which a solid transition straight to a gaseous state without going through a liquid state.

Hence, option c) is the correct answer.
