← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a large pressure drop causes liquefied natural gas to boil?
A)Significant volume and pressure increase✓
B)Substantial methane hydrate formation results
C)A decrease in entropy is inevitable
D)Cooling occurs due to Joule-Thomson effect
💡 Explanation
A large pressure drop causes rapid vaporization via the Leidenfrost effect, therefore increasing volume considerably, rather than methane hydrate forming because a phase change is dominant here; substantial heating is also required.
