Question

State the energy changes that takes place in the following case:

Water freezes in the freezing chamber of a fridge.

Answer 1

Water molecules have kinetic energy that releases heat energy and freezes in the chamber of the fridge.

Energy change:

$$\begin{gathered} Kineticenergy\to Heatenergy \\ \left(Water\right)\left(Ice\right) \end{gathered}$$

Answer:

Hence, the energy change that takes place when water freezes in the freezing chamber of a fridge is from kinetic energy to heat energy.
