Which outcome results when rapid decompression causes saturated gas mixtures exiting a chemical reactor to experience immediate cooling?

💡 Explanation

Supersaturation and immediate phase separation occur because isenthalpic expansion, or Joule-Thomson effect, causes quick cooling and the dissolved gaseous components suddenly exceed their solubility limits, therefore small bubbles nucleate instantly, rather than remaining stable.
