Question
Give reason.
A dry handkerchief gets wet at once on dipping in water, but it takes longer for a wet handkerchief to dry.
Solution
A dry handkerchief gets wet at once because it quickly absorbs the water in which it is dipped. However, it takes longer for a wet handkerchief to dry because the water needs to evaporate from the handkerchief. Evaporation is a slow process that is dependent on other factors as well, like relative humidity.
