← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid pressure change initiates boiling?
A)Superheated liquid explodes violently (MVE)✓
B)Dissolved gasses form stable microbubbles
C)Homogeneous nucleation remains stable
D)Pressure fluctuation damping prevents transition
💡 Explanation
Violent boiling occurs because rapid pressure change causes superheating; the explosive transformation is homogeneous nucleation. This happens because the liquid finds itself far above its boiling point suddenly, therefore massive vaporization generates explosive phase changes, rather than stable bubbles or damping.
