Which outcome occurs when liquid hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decomposes at high concentration inside a spacecraft propellant tank?

💡 Explanation

Rapid pressure increase occurs because exothermic decomposition of H₂O₂ rapidly releases gaseous oxygen and heat via adiabatic compression. Heat increases kinetic energy, therefore, pressure rises faster than volume increases, rather than simple expansion with constant heat input.
