Which outcome results when rapid depressurization causes adiabatic expansion of CO₂?

💡 Explanation

Formation of dry ice occurs because adiabatic expansion causes rapid cooling via the Joule-Thomson effect below CO₂'s triple point, therefore CO₂ solidifies rather than remaining a gas because the energy is lost to expansion, shifting phase.
