← ScienceWhich outcome results when rapid decompression supersaturates a gas/liquid mixture?
A)Intense cooling of the gas phase
B)Vigorous effervescence and bubble formation✓
C)Spontaneous increase in liquid density
D)Uniform reformation into original single-phase
💡 Explanation
Rapid decompression encourages the dissolved gas to exceed its solubility limit; therefore nucleation is triggered, because, as this is how bubbles form given the phase change, vigorous effervescence will occur as a result, rather than the mixture uniformly reforming.
