Question

20. Anshuman put the 10 g raisins in 100 mL distilled water
which is at 10°C below the room temperature while Anurag
put the same amount of raisins in 100 mL distilled water at
10°C above the room temperature. After an hour, percentage
of water absorbed by the raisins will be :
(a) Same in both cases
(6) More in Anshuman's beaker
(c) More in Anurag's beaker
(d) Exactly twice as much as in Anurag as in Anshuman
beaker.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

As a result of absorption or imbibition of water, the size of the raisins increases. 

The difference in mass between the swollen and dry raisins gives the amount

of water imbibed by the raisins. The rate of imbibition increases with the increase in temperature. Therefore, raisin in beaker B absorbs more water than in beaker A.
