← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid decompression forces water into vacuum?
A)Intense cooling via adiabatic expansion
B)Sudden freezing via the Mpemba effect
C)Violent boiling via cavitation mechanism✓
D)Spontaneous cracking through vitrification
💡 Explanation
Violent boiling occurs via the cavitation mechanism because the rapid pressure drop causes water to vaporize into bubbles; therefore the violent boiling rather than freezing occurs, because heat escapes during expansion.
