You have collected a tissue specimen that you would like to preserve by freeze drying. To ensure the integrity of the specimen, the temperature should not exceed - 5.00 o C. The vapor pressure of ice at 273.16K is 624 Pa. What is the maximum pressure at which the freeze drying can be carried out?

Answer:

The maximum pressure is 612.2 Pa

Explanation:

The pressure of the ice (P1) = 624 Pa

The temperature of the ice = 273.16 K

The maximum temperature the specimen = - 5 oC

                                                                     = -5 + 273 = 268K

The maximum Pressure the freeze drying can be will be (P2) = ?

Using Pressure law, which shows the relationship between pressure and temperature.

                        P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

                       P2 T1 = P1 T2

                       P2 = P1 T2 / T1

                       P2 = 624 × 268 / 273.16

                       P2 = 612.2 Pa

The maximum pressure at which drying can be carried out is 612.2 Pa
