Question

the water is at 55 °C. Now slowly add heat to the sample of liquid water until it freezes. What happens to the water as it freezes in terms of the strength of the bonds, the entropy of the system, and the types of motion that exist?

Answer 1

As heat is added to water, the thermal energy of molecules increases and then they vibrate with increased frequency. As a consequence of increased energetic vibrations,the bond between the water and molecule weakens resulting in the increase of bond length

The entropy of the system increases as the water release heat as it condenses.

When water freezes the molecules slows down and settle into place, lining up in regular formations.
