Imbibition in...

Question

Imbibition involves adsorption of water molecules with a)increase in temperature b)decrease in temperature c)decrease in volume of imbibant d)both a) and b)

Open in App

Solution

As the water molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the imbibant, their kinetic energy is released in the form of heat which increase the temperature of the medium. It is called heat of wetting (or heat of hydration)

so option(a) is correct
