Super Cooling and Snap Freezing

CSEF · 2013 Physics & Astronomy

Austin T. Kim · Fairmont Private Schools - Anaheim Hills, Anaheim Hills, Orange County

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective was to see which type of water samples can be supercooled before freezing;distilled water,spring water,or plain tap water. Methods/Materials My objective was to see which type of water samples can be supercooled before freezing;distilled water,spring water,or plain tap water. Results The only water sample to supercool and snapfreeze was the distilled water on its third and final trial. Conclusions/Discussion It appears that my data and results did indeed support my hypothesis in the fact that distilled water would be the only water sample to supercool and snapfreeze. I believe with this experiment the fundamentals of the phenomenon known as supercooling can be better understood.

Summary statement

The capabilities of different types of water to maintain its liquid state when below freezing.

Help received
