1. a yield of 90% means: a) 90% of workers showed up b) 90% of the feedstock turned into product c) 90% of waste was recycled d) 90% of processes failed 5. why are off - spec products dangerous for companies? a) they are cheaper to sell b) they improve efficiency c) they can be unsafe and harm reputation d) they increase yield 6. which tool helps technicians see the big picture of a process? a) process flow diagram (pfd) b) equipment list c) block flow diagram (bfd) d) lab report 7. in the soda bottling example, which is an input? a) bottled soda b) waste stream c) water d) customer feedback 8. which of the following shows why processes matter? a) they help predict problems and maintain safety b) they eliminate the need for feedstock c) they guarantee all products will be perfect d) they allow workers to skip safety steps 9. if yield is too low, what is one result? a) more profit b) less waste c) company loses money d) customer trust increases writing response: in a well - developed paragraph, explain why tracking yield and off - spec is important for both safety and profit. use details from the passage. passage 2 - unit operations and the process flow diagram unit operations are the building blocks of process technology. each operation performs a specific role, and together they transform raw materials into usable products. common unit operations include pumps, heat exchangers, separators, and reactors.

Explanation:

1. Yield in a production - context refers to the proportion of feedstock that is successfully turned into product. So, a 90% yield means 90% of the feedstock turned into product.
2. Off - spec products can be unsafe for consumers and can damage a company's reputation.
3. A Process Flow Diagram (PFD) helps technicians visualize the overall process.
4. In soda bottling, water is an input to make the soda.
5. Processes matter as they help predict problems and maintain safety.
6. Low yield means less product is produced from the same amount of input, resulting in the company losing money.
