← ScienceWhich consequence typically occurs when supercritical carbon dioxide transitions into a gaseous phase above its critical temperature in a closed container?
A)Rapid temperature reduction via adiabatic demagnetization
B)Significant pressure surge due to isochoric heating✓
C)Formation of stable, ordered crystalline structure
D)Neutron emission initiating chain reactions
💡 Explanation
The phase transition causes a significant pressure surge because the fluid becomes less dense upon transitioning through the critical point during isochoric heating. Therefore, internal energy increases rather than releasing neutrons or changing temperature via alternative effects.
