Abstract

A system whose macroscopic properties appear to be unchanging in time may not be in a state of minimum free energy. A common example of such a metastable state is a supercooled liquid. Liquid sodium acetate is a system in which the passage of a supercooled liquid into its stable, crystalline form is readily demonstrated.
