← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when applying vacuum to water?
A)Boiling process accelerates dramatically✓
B)Supercooling occurs uncontrollably
C)Surface tension increases exponentially
D)Water density reaches maximum value
💡 Explanation
Applying vacuum lowers the ambient pressure, causing boiling via a first-order phase transition to occur at a much reduced temperature. The mechanism for this is Vaporization, because the equilibrium vapor pressure is exceeded; therefore boiling occurs, rather than remaining in a liquid phase.
