How does wetting a paper affect its strength?
Anwser:Yes, the wettness does affect the paper. Scientific studies says that if paper recifece to mutch water it will lose its strangth and the paper will tear.paper is made up of cellulose meaning repeating units of glucose. These glucose molecules are layered on top of each other held together by hydrogen bonding. When you wet paper, water actually can hydrogen bond to the glucose molecules which causes the structure of cellulose to loose strength. So wet paper can tear easily when wet. This doesn't happen when paper is submerged in oil because oil is a fat, hydrophobic, no hydrogen bonding.
