← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapidly compressing ammonia vapor?
A)Vapor undergoes supersaturation and liquefaction.✓
B)Temperature rises; pressure remains constant.
C)Gas remains ideal through all stages.
D)Heat dissipates without phase transition.
💡 Explanation
Ammonia's rapid compression causes adiabatic heating and exceeds saturation pressure; therefore, condensation occurs via nucleation because molecules kinetically associate into droplets rather than remaining in vapor state or dissipating heat.
