Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes cooling?

💡 Explanation

Depressurization leads to adiabatic expansion and cooling. The mechanism is adiabatic cooling, causing air to reach its dew point; therefore condensation happens and vapor changes phase, rather than maintaining gaseous pressures because of external force.
