Which outcome occurs during rapid depressurization of liquid nitrogen within an uninsulated container?

💡 Explanation

During rapid depressurization of liquid nitrogen, the rapid change in phase from liquid to gas causes a massive volume increase because the latent heat of vaporization is drawn from the liquid leading to a vapor explosion. This occurs rather than embrittlement, enrichment, or implosion, which would be contingent on factors outside the context presented.
