← ScienceWhich 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.
