← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid decompression triggers flash freezing?
A)Vapor pressure dramatically decreases causing boiling✓
B)Volume decrease raises freezing point significantly
C)Internal energy maintains stable thermal equilibrium
D)Latent heat increases overall system enthalpy
💡 Explanation
Significant evaporative cooling occurs because vapor pressure drops below external pressure driving rapid boiling, which is the mechanism of phase transition. Therefore the liquid boils and freezes, rather than remaining stable because atmospheric pressure change dominates.
