Question

Q.Arrange the following fibres in the increasing order of their water absorption capacity:
cotton,wool,rayon,nylon ​

Answer 1

cotton first second wool third rayon fourth nylon plz mark this answer as brainlist and follow me

Answer 2

ARRANGEMENT OF THE ABOVE GIVEN FIBRES in the increasing order of their water absorption capacity are:

Nylon < Rayon < Wool < Cotton

• This order means that cotton has the maximum water absorption capacity as compared to the other three.
• Then, wool has slightly lesser water absorption capacity than cotton but more than rayon and nylon.
• Then, rayon has a slightly higher water absorption capacity than nylon but lesser than cotton and wool.
• Then, we have nylon, which has the least water absorption capacity than the others on the list.

Water absorption capacity is the limit or extent of how much water can the pores of these fibers retain into them.

By percentage of water absorption capacity, these fibers have :(approximate values given)

1. Cotton 55%-65%(maximum)
2. Wool 40%-30%(slightly lower than cotton)
3. Rayon 18%-25%(lesser)
4. Nylon 10%-14%(least)
