Question

How does temperature affect nucleation?

• A. When temperature increases the nucleation increases
• B. When temperature increases the nucleation decreases
• C. When temperature increases the nucleation increases and then decreases
• D. Nucleation is not dependent on temperature

Hint:

↑ Temperature → ↓ Nucleation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Higher temperatures generally reduce supersaturation, which in turn decreases nucleation rate.
