Which consequence results when the specific gas constant's value decreases significantly in a rocket's nozzle?

💡 Explanation

Decreased gas constant negatively affects thrust because the *ideal gas law* dictates that lower R results in a lower exit velocity for a given pressure in the nozzle; therefore, thrust efficiency suffers, rather than increasing exhaust velocity or decreasing chamber pressure under stable combustion.
