← ScienceWhich consequence results when uncontrolled sublimation of solid CO₂ occurs?
A)Endothermic process reduces surrounding temperature.✓
B)Exothermic reaction increases ambient pressure.
C)Increased radiative heat gains melt nearby ice.
D)Rapid dissociation generates dangerous free radicals.
💡 Explanation
Rapid sublimation absorbs energy via latent heat via increased disorder because, rather than melting, rapid phase transition directly to gas happens, therefore cooling occurs rather than alternatives that would happen involving oxidation or changes in reaction rates.
