Which outcome occurs when sudden decompression initiates water phase transition?

💡 Explanation

Rapid decompression quickly decreases pressure initiating freezing. Latent heat transfer during phase transition causes flash freezing because sudden expansion draws significant energy rapidly, therefore ice forms instantly and risks shattering rather than uniform cooling.
