Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization of liquid carbon dioxide?

💡 Explanation

Adiabatic expansion rapidly cools the CO2, and pressure drops below the triple point, causing deposition of solid dry ice directly from the gas phase, because the energy removal drives a phase transition. Therefore, solid dry ice forms, rather than maintaining liquid, because the triple point prevents it.
