    The document discusses supercooling of liquid naphthalene. Supercooling is when a liquid is cooled below its freezing point but remains liquid. If liquid naphthalene is cooled without stirring, it can supercool. Stirring helps prevent supercooling by providing nucleation sites for freezing to begin at the normal freezing point rather than below it.

    1. liquid naphthalene has to be stirred during cooling?

    Answer: To avoid supercooling.

    2. What is meant by supercooling?


    Answer: Supercooling is the cooling of a liquid to below its freezing
    point but keeping it in liquid state.

    3. Sketch a graph to illustrate supercooling


    Answer:

    4. Sketch a cooling curve for naphthalene


    Answer:

    Label the freezing point of naphthalene as T1.

    5. What happen to the kinetic energy of particle as it is cooled from E to


    F?
    Answer: Kinetic energy decreases

    6. Why temperature of naphthalene remain unchanged from F to G?


    Answer: Heat released by the particles is balanced by the heat lost to
    the surrounding during the formation of the bond between liquid
    particles during freezing.
