Which outcome occurs when compressed liquid propane rapidly expands?

💡 Explanation

Temperature decreasing occurs because decreasing pressure promotes adiabatic expansion, increasing volume and reducing temperature – internal energy decreases. This causes the propane to cool; therefore, this outcome is more likely than the alternatives involving compression rather than expansion.
