← ScienceWhich consequence results when ice undergoes rapid sublimation?
A)Absorbing heat via latent heat transfer✓
B)Increased convective film coefficient
C)Decreased ice crystal orientation
D)Reduced vapor pressure equilibrium
💡 Explanation
Because sublimation is an endothermic phase transition converting solid to gas; heat is absorbed. Rapid sublimation causes significantly faster energy absorption via the latent heat transfer mechanism; therefore, cooling the surrounding environment, rather than alternative heat-generating kinetic effects.
