Which consequence results when rapid heating of a two-phase liquid mixture in a closed container reaches critical conditions?

A)Violent phase transition, potential mechanical failure
B)Stable equilibrium, minimal pressure increase
C)Gradual temperature, uniform phase distribution
D)Controlled evaporation, continuous vapor release

💡 Explanation

A rapid local temperature increase will trigger homogeneous nucleation of the liquid phase because the energy input creates new fluid bubbles, therefore leading to increased pressure and potential vessel mechanical failure, rather than a diffusion limited phase change.
