← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pressurized liquid nitrogen experiences rapid DECOMPRESSION at ambient temperature?
A)Violent volume EXPANSION occurs✓
B)Critical OPALESCENCE near boiling point
C)Nitrogen becomes increasingly VISCOUS
D)Exothermic POLYMERIZATION of nitrogen oxide
💡 Explanation
Violent expansion results because rapid pressure reduction triggers BOILING, a liquid-to-gas phase transition; this is because nitrogen will achieve very high thermal instability rapidly and suddenly evaporate, therefore significant pressures will exert a volume expansion rather than reaching critical opalescence or any chemical reactions as the gas warms up.
