Why imbibition increases with temperature?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student...

The rate of imbibition increases with increase in temperature because..

rate of water uptake inversely depends on the viscosity (difficulty to flow) of water and this viscosity decreases with increase in temperature...

So imbibition increases with increase in temperature...
