Which outcome occurs when water undergoes rapid adiabatic decompression at high pressure?

💡 Explanation

Flash freezing results because adiabatic decompression causes rapid cooling. This leverages the Joule-Thomson effect resulting in quick phase change. Therefore, water freezes and expands, rather than combust or increase density, which require reactions or maintaining conditions.
