Does the surface area of water affects its rate of freezing
Answers
Yes dear,
Surface area of an object affects the rate of heat being transferred,emitted or absorbed.
In freezing ,thermal energy is being lost.

If u pour some water in a glass and put it in a freezer and at the same time pour some water in a larger bowl and also put that in a freezer,u will notice after sometime that in this period of time the water in the glass has frozen whereas the water in the bowl is still a bit in liquid form.This is bcuz of the difference in surface areas. Bowl water,having a greater surface area freezes slowly and opposite is the case with the glass water which freezes quickly or ghastly than the bowl water due to a lesser or smaller surface area.
HOPE IT HELPS UH!
HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD«««
