← ScienceWhich outcome results when adiabatic ice sublimation is unconstrained?
A)Temperature plummets via evaporative chilling✓
B)Pressure increases from gas expansion
C)Density increases due to solid loss
D)Equilibrium solid-gas transition maintains balance
💡 Explanation
Temperature plunges via adiabatic cooling because *latent heat of sublimation* is drawn solely from the ice and gas, a process cooling them; therefore temperature drops rather than equilibrating, contrasting heat addition or restricted sublimation driving pressure increase.
