← ScienceWhich outcome results when rapid decompression induces phase transition?
A)Significant decrease in gas temperature✓
B)Increased efficiency in thermal regulation
C)Improved gas mixture homogeneity locally
D)Rise in local kinetic energy overall
💡 Explanation
A temperature drop appears because expansion causes adiabatic cooling—energy goes into volume increase rather than retaining thermal movement. This induces cooling rather than kinetic gains; therefore, temperature decreases, rather than kinetic increase, following adiabatic processes.
