← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid decompression initiates boiling?
A)Latent heat drives flash vaporization✓
B)Convection overwhelms surface evaporation
C)Viscosity inhibits bubble formation
D)Sublimation accelerates crystal growth
💡 Explanation
Rapid pressure drop enables violent boiling of liquid because, during the phase transition, latent heat drives flash vaporization, absorbing energy from system; therefore the liquid boils violently, rather than experiencing smooth evaporation.
