← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid decompression causes bubble formation?
A)Adiabatic cooling exceeds vapor pressure✓
B)Osmotic pressure causes cell lysis
C)Cavitation erodes pump impellers
D)Viscosity increases frictional drag
💡 Explanation
Adiabatic cooling lowers local temperatures below water's initial vapor pressure; therefore, dissolved gases vaporize, causing bubbles rather than the lower energy option of remaining dissolved, because the temperature drops rapidly.
