The equation you provided shows the phase change of iron (Fe) from liquid to solid:

  • Fe (l) represents liquid iron.
  • Fe (s) represents solid iron.

Based on this, the correct responses would be:

  • Liquid iron is becoming a solid.
  • Iron is being cooled.

The other responses about solid iron becoming a liquid and iron being heated do not apply to this specific phase change.
