Answer to Question 1

Distillation is the process by which the alcohol content of a beverage is increased. Because the boiling point of water is 212F (100C) and alcohol boils at 173F (78.3C), a distiller can boil a liquid mixture containing alcohol at a temperature above 172F (77.8) but below 212 (100C). The alcohol will vaporize, can be captured, and added back in greater concentration, thus raising the level of alcohol in the beverage. A unit of proof equals one-half of 1 percent of alcohol. Thus, if a spirit product is 80 proof, it contains 40 percent alcohol. The distillation process allows a spirit maker to precisely control the amount of alcohol in the product being made. The distillation process makes control of proof possible.

Answer to Question 2

Managers who maintain a positive workplace establish the groundwork for effective motivation. They focus on employees, maintain open communication channels, and celebrate success. They also build teams, promote diversity and fairness, and ensure a fair workplace by prohibiting any type of harassment.
