← ScienceWhich outcome will occur when rapidly decreasing pressure on superheated liquid propane?
A)Explosive adiabatic flash vaporization occurs✓
B)Controlled isothermal phase transition happens
C)Sublimation into solid propane crystals
D)Stable Leidenfrost effect is prolonged
💡 Explanation
Explosive adiabatic flash vaporization will happen, because the rapid pressure decrease causes the liquid’s boiling point to plummet; therefore a large portion vaporizes instantaneously, quickly increasing volume and pressure, rather than a controlled boil or sublimation.
