    In distillation ________takes place in both the direction..

    • A.

      Mass transfer

    • B.

      Heat transfer

    • C.

      Evaporation

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass transfer
    Explanation
    In distillation, mass transfer takes place in both directions. This means that during the process, there is a transfer of mass (components) between the liquid and vapor phases. This is essential for separating different components in a mixture based on their boiling points. The higher boiling point components tend to condense and move back into the liquid phase, while the lower boiling point components vaporize and move into the vapor phase. Therefore, mass transfer is crucial for the success of distillation as it enables the separation of different components in the mixture.

    How many kilograms of solution containing 10% sugar can be obtained by diluting 15 kg of 20% solution with water..

    • A.

      20 Kg

    • B.

      30 Kg

    • C.

      40 Kg

    • D.

      60 Kg

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 Kg
    Explanation
    To find the answer, we need to calculate the amount of sugar in the 15 kg of 20% solution. The solution contains 20% sugar, so the amount of sugar in the solution is 15 kg * 20% = 3 kg.

    To obtain a solution with a concentration of 10% sugar, we need to dilute the 3 kg of sugar in water. Since the concentration of sugar is decreasing by half (20% to 10%), we need to double the amount of solution.

    Therefore, we need 2 * 15 kg = 30 kg of solution to obtain a 10% sugar solution. However, since we are asked for the amount of solution containing 10% sugar that can be obtained by diluting the 15 kg of 20% solution, the maximum amount of solution we can obtain is 15 kg.

    Hence, the correct answer is 20 kg.
