Freeze drying (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice sublimates from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, sublimating the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice.

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by $X^{A}_{Z}$

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z

Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.

Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;

1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively.

2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron.

3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.
