← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when compressed liquid carbon dioxide expands rapidly?
A)Significant temperature decrease via Joule-Thomson effect✓
B)Carbon dioxide forms stable clathrate hydrates
C)Triple point equilibrium becomes automatically achieved easily
D)Carbonic acid production reaction rate immediately increases.
💡 Explanation
Flash freezing will occur when CO2 undergoes rapid expansion because adiabatic expansion during the Joule-Thomson effect cools the gas sufficiently to induce condensation. Therefore, the primary outcome is cooling, rather than other phase-dependent reactions or equilibria.
