because the wood absorbs the water and its size increases the water enters the wood through small pores
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
The densities of s-block elements vary depending on the specific element. Generally, s-block elements like lithium, sodium, and potassium have low densities compared to d-block and f-block elements. As you move down the s-block of the periodic table, the densities of the elements tend to increase due to the increase in atomic size and mass.
When an egg is placed in vinegar, the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to dissolve. As the eggshell dissolves, the egg absorbs water through osmosis, making it swell in size. This increase in size is due to the influx of water into the egg through the now porous eggshell.
When a balloon is placed in hot water, the air particles inside the balloon gain energy and move more rapidly, causing them to exert more pressure on the walls of the balloon. This increase in pressure leads to the balloon expanding in size as it tries to accommodate the higher pressure from the heated air molecules.
The size of a celery cell placed in a container of salt water will decrease. This is due to osmosis, where water moves out of the celery cells to the area with a higher concentration of salt outside the cells. As water leaves the cells, they lose turgor pressure, causing the celery to become limp and shrink.
because when you move it . it increases in size
A red blood cell would increase in size when placed in a saline solution due to water moving into the cell to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell, a process called osmosis. This can cause the cell to swell and eventually burst if the solution is too hypotonic.
The weight of the block at the time of the drop would ensure that the block goes into the water pretty deep depending on the size and weight of the block. After going into the water in the first instance, it would then float.
yes and if you cut yourself in water you willl also grow in size
Magic marbles grow in water due to a process called osmosis. When placed in water, the polymer material of the marbles absorbs the liquid, causing them to swell and increase in size. This expansion occurs because the water molecules move into the marbles, balancing the concentration of solutes inside and outside the marbles. As a result, they can grow significantly larger than their original size.

The block of Styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water. The buoyant force is greatest on the lead. Compared to an empty ship, the same ship loaded with Styrofoam will float lower in the water.
