Q1:

Mechanical recompression evaporation is used in the production of

A alcohol

B distilled water

C salt

D fruits jam

ANS:B - distilled water

Mechanical recompression evaporation is commonly used in the production of distilled water. It's a process where steam is compressed and used to heat the feed solution, thereby increasing the temperature and driving evaporation. This method is particularly efficient for concentrating dilute solutions and producing high-quality distilled water.
