← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid depressurization causes methane hydrate destabilization?
A)Endothermic gas release; cooling occurs✓
B)Increased viscosity halts gas escape
C)Exothermic clathrate reformation accelerates
D)Mechanical obstruction alleviates pressure
💡 Explanation
Destabilization causes endothermic methane release through enthalpy of dissociation during phase transition, lowering temperature because energy input separates methane from water molecules rather than exothermic reformation. Therefore, nearby machinery icing becomes a risk.
