Which of the following is a super-cooled liquid?
-
- Ice-cream
- Ammonia
- Glass
- Wood
- Ice-cream
Correct Option: C
Glass is considered to be a super-cooled liquid due to its lack of a first-order phase transition where certain thermodynamic variables such as volume, entropy and enthalpy are discontinuous through the glass transition range. However, the glass transition may be described as analogous to a second-order phase transition where the intensive thermodynamic variables such as the thermal expansivity and heat capacity are discontinuous.
