The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the freezing of water. ### Step 1: Understand the Process of Freezing Freezing is the process where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature decreases. For water, this occurs when it reaches 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) under standard atmospheric conditions. **Hint:** Recall the definition of freezing and the temperature at which water freezes. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement-1 Statement-1 claims that "The freezing of water is an endothermic process." An endothermic process is one that absorbs heat from the surroundings. - When water freezes, it does not absorb heat; instead, it releases heat to the surroundings as it transitions from a liquid to a solid state. **Hint:** Consider what happens to the energy of water molecules as they transition from liquid to solid. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement-2 Statement-2 states that "Heat must be removed from the water to make it freeze." - This statement is accurate because, to freeze water, we need to lower its temperature, which involves removing heat energy from the water. **Hint:** Think about how cooling systems work to remove heat from substances. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Statement-1 is incorrect because freezing is not an endothermic process; it is an exothermic process where heat is released. - Statement-2 is correct because heat must indeed be removed from water for it to freeze. Thus, we conclude: - **Statement-1:** Incorrect - **Statement-2:** Correct **Final Answer:** Statement-1 is incorrect, and Statement-2 is correct.

The dissolution of ammonium chloride in water is an endothermic process but still it dissolves in water readily. Why ?

Most substances contract on freezing . However, water does not belong to this category. We know that water expands on freezing. Further , coefficient of volume expansion of water in the temperature range from 0^(@)C to 4^(@)C is negative and above 4^(@)C it is positive . This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it is still above 4^(@)C . As the atmospheric temperature goes below 4^(@)C
