Adhesion and Cohesion
because your mum has lots of celery and sugar
Celery is slightly acidic. Its pH is between 5.7 and 6.0
Celery is not a compound at all but rather a mixture of many compounds.
No
ph7
Saltwater (a hypertonic solution) with the celery cells (a hypotonic solution) causes a concentration gradient where the water from the celery will escape into the hypertonic solution, shrinking the celery in a process known as plasmolysis.
Most likely the solution is water and salt. The salt in the water causes the celery to pull water out of itself to try and even out the salt to water concentration. This causes the celery to wilt.

The celery has veins because the veins help the celery transport nutrians throughout the plant. Have you ever done the experiment when you put a celery in colored water? The celery's veins transport the color throughout the celery. It does this because the celery's veins transport the nutrians, so it does it with the water also.
They get covered in colored water
Yes colored water can change the color of celery, because celery has xylem tubes witch transports the water throughout the entire plant, therefore changing the celery's color
hypotonic
The veins of the celery turn the color of the dye. It's very cool when you slice it open.
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
hypotonic means dilute, hypertonic means concentrated. If celery becomes turgid in the fresh water then it is hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to sodium solution.
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
