Which outcome occurs when rapidly compressing saturated steam?

💡 Explanation

Liquid water forms because compression increases pressure, favoring the liquid phase, triggering nucleation. The transition releases energy; therefore localized condensation happens rather than superheating, which would require adding energy at constant pressure instead.
