I think that different liquids have different freezing points because every liquid consists of different atoms and different things that make up the atom causing them to have different freezing points.
Conduction - by touch
Convection - hot air rises, cold air sinks
Insulation - to insulate or capture heat
Radiation - by waves
Direct contact means touch, therefore the answer would be conduction.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The relationship between Gibb's free energy, enthalpy, entropy and temperature is given by the equation:
Where,
= change in Gibb's free energy
= change in enthalpy
T = temperature
= change in entropy
It is given that freezing of methane is taking place, which means that entropy is decreasing and 
is becoming negative. It is also given that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, this means that the is also negative.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, must be negative.
![-ve=-ve-[T(-ve)]\\\\-ve=-ve+T](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-ve%3D-ve-%5BT%28-ve%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C-ve%3D-ve%2BT)
From above equations, it is visible that will be negative only when the temperature will be low.
Hence, the correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.
Initial concentration of magnesium nitrate M1 = 2.13 M
Initial volume of magnesium nitrate, MgNO3 V1 = 1.24 L
Final concentration of MgNO3, M2 = 1.60 M
Let the final volume of MgNO3 upon dilution be V2
Formula to use:
M1*V1 = M2*V2
V2 = M1*V1/M2
= 2.13 M * 1.24 L/1.60 M = 1.65 L
Thus, the final volume of magnesium nitrate solution upon dilution is 1.65 L
