Question
Chapter 10, Problem 114QRT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The towel made from polyester is less water absorbent than towel made from cotton has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The absorption of water by any molecule depends upon the molecular structure of the molecule. The molecule which contains polar groups forms hydrogen bonding with the water molecule. Therefore, the absorption of water by the molecule is high. The greater extent of hydrogen bonding makes molecule more water absorbent.
