← ScienceWhich outcome during rapid sublimation causes decreased equipment lifespan?
A)Latent heat extraction lowers temperature
B)Sublimation increases gas partial pressure
C)Redeposition induces crystalline microstress✓
D)Increased solid density lowers vapor pressure
💡 Explanation
Redeposition on nearby surfaces causes crystalline microstress because sublimation involves phase transitions followed by vapor deposition onto surfaces. Crystalline growth is rarely perfectly even; therefore, internal stresses accumulate rather than even dispersion during the transitions.
