Which consequence results when rapid vaporization within localized volumes of liquid nitrogen?

💡 Explanation

A rapid phase transition generates substantial volume change quickly; a pressure wave propagates through supercooled mixtures. This is because explosive boiling creates immense pressure, therefore localized shockwaves occur rather than viscosity changes or reduced boiling in the liquid.
