Question

Why sawdust is insoluble in water?

Answer 1

Sawdust:

• Sawdust (also known as wood dust) is a byproduct of woodworking activities such as sawing, sanding, milling, planing, and routing.
• It is made up of little wood chippings.

Sawdust insoluble in water:

• Though sawdust can absorb a lot of water and soften as a result, its cellulose structure will never dissolve into the water like salt, sugar, and other materials do.
• Sawdust has simply shredded wood particles.
• Saw dust does not dissolve in water, but very small particles of sawdust can create a colloidal suspension and change the color of the water
