Yes, water is present in chips, but in very small amounts. The moisture content can vary depending on the type of chips and their processing methods. Most commercially produced chips aim for a low moisture level to enhance shelf life and maintain crispness. Generally, the moisture content is less than 5%.
No the water would drain around the chips. They would not absorb water.
Depends on the type of brand you have and how exposed were the chips to the air (humidity)
Wood chips act as a physical filter in water treatment systems. As water passes through the wood chips, particles and impurities are trapped within the porous structure of the chips. This process helps to remove contaminants and improve water quality.

Having a low density wood chips float on water.
When the mixture of marbles and wood chips is added to the water, the marbles will sink to the bottom of the container since they have a higher density than water. The wood chips will float on the surface since they have a lower density. The marbles will settle at the bottom, and the wood chips will remain floating on the water.
Boiling chips are typically made of inert materials like calcium carbonate or silicon carbide, which are insoluble in water. They are added to a liquid to provide nucleation sites for bubbles to form and prevent superheating. Therefore, boiling chips do not dissolve in water but rather provide a surface for boiling to occur more smoothly.
First you mix both chalk and salt in water. From the solution that you get, you can filter the chalk out because it is non soluble in water. As for the salt, all there is to do is to just evaporate the water out.

One cup of ice chips is not exactly equal to 180 ml of water because ice occupies more volume than the same amount of water due to its lower density. When ice melts, it produces water, but the volume of ice chips will not translate directly to the same volume of liquid water. Generally, one cup of ice chips may contain less liquid water when melted than the initial volume might suggest.

To get the chips to smoke, you have to soak them in water first, otherwise, they'd just burn.
