← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid isentropic expansion induces oversaturation?
A)Spontaneous nucleation creates thermodynamically stable clusters.✓
B)Equilibrium shifts, minimizing bubble formation.
C)Latent heat prevents condensate phase change.
D)Viscosity increases impeding cavitation inception.
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous nucleation appears because excess chemical potential triggers cluster formation driven by overcoming surface energy barriers, therefore homogeneous nucleation occurs, rather than heterogeneous dominated by existing interfaces under slower cooling.
