← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid gas decompression occurs?
A)Significant temperature decrease by adiabatic cooling✓
B)Increased gas density causing implosion
C)Spontaneous increase in ionization energy
D)Isothermal maintenance of initial gas enthalpy
💡 Explanation
Rapid decompression causes adiabatic cooling because the gas expands quickly, performing work. This energy comes from the gas's internal energy, lowering temperature rather than maintaining enthalpy; therefore, temperature drops rather than ionization increases.
