Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis and distillation are both commonly used methods of desalination to make sea water appropriate for drinking. Reverse osmosis involves removing salt and impurities by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane, while distillation involves boiling water and condensing the steam to remove salt and impurities. Osmosis (A) is the natural movement of water from an area of low salt concentration to high concentration, and is not used for desalination. Flocculation (D) is a process of clumping together particles in water to form larger particles, which can be more easily removed, and is not a method of desalination.
