Question 32

During the industrial freeze-drying of a pharmaceutical product, water (H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}H2​O) is first frozen into ice. The ambient pressure is then reduced, allowing the ice to transition directly into water vapour to be removed. Finally, this water vapour is collected on a condenser at a very low temperature, where it converts directly back into solid ice.

What are the names of these two phase transitions respectively?

A

Sublimation and deposition\text{Sublimation and deposition}Sublimation and deposition

B

Evaporation and condensation\text{Evaporation and condensation}Evaporation and condensation

C

Sublimation and condensation\text{Sublimation and condensation}Sublimation and condensation

D

Evaporation and deposition\text{Evaporation and deposition}Evaporation and deposition
