Which outcome occurs when rapid pressure change initiates boiling?

💡 Explanation

Violent boiling occurs because rapid pressure change causes superheating; the explosive transformation is homogeneous nucleation. This happens because the liquid finds itself far above its boiling point suddenly, therefore massive vaporization generates explosive phase changes, rather than stable bubbles or damping.
