Which consequence results when molecular nitrogen is rapidly depressurized?

A)Significant temperature decrease occurs
B)Nitrogen becomes chemically reactive
C)Supercritical fluid phase obtained
D)Nitrogen molecules spontaneously polymerize

💡 Explanation

The Joule-Thomson effect causes a gas to cool upon expansion because intermolecular forces must be overcome, therefore nitrogen cools rather than liquefies, because attraction influences gas behavior rather than polymerization.
