5)During the course of the experiment ‘to determine the percentage of water absorbed by raisins’, how often are the raisins weighed?
  

6)To observe imbibition well, for how long should the raisins be soaked in water?
  

7)Following are the steps involved in the experiment ‘to determine the percentage of water absorbed by raisins’. They are not in proper sequence. (I) Soak the raisins in fresh water (II) Weigh dry raisin (III) Weigh soaked raisin (IV) Wipe out soaked raisin. What is the correct sequence of steps?
  

8)At the end of the experiment to determine the percentage of water absorbed by raisins, the raisins are wiped just before weighing. What does this ensure?
  

9)In order to obtain correct result of percentage of water imbibed by raisins, what should be done?
