โ ScienceWhich outcome occurs when compressed liquid propane rapidly expands?
A)Temperature decreases from adiabatic expansionโ
B)System experiences isentropic compression
C)Volume is conserved by the process
D)Propane becomes supercritical fluid
๐ก Explanation
Temperature decreasing occurs because decreasing pressure promotes adiabatic expansion, increasing volume and reducing temperature โ internal energy decreases. This causes the propane to cool; therefore, this outcome is more likely than the alternatives involving compression rather than expansion.
