Which outcome occurs when a closed vessel of water under pressure experiences rapid adiabatic expansion?

💡 Explanation

Cooling induces ice crystal nucleation (freezing) because adiabatic expansion reduces the internal energy/temperature. The first phase transition, rather than immediate boiling or stable density increase, occurs because ice nucleation is favored at the lower temperature.
