Properties of Super Absorbent Polymers

The video demonstrates the properties of instant snow, a super absorbent polymer, which absorbs water and transforms into a solid. The process is shown in real-time, highlighting the polymer's ability to trap water molecules. Eventually, the water can evaporate, returning the polymer to its original state.

What is the primary characteristic of instant snow that makes it unique?

• It dissolves in water.

• It is a super absorbent polymer.

• It is a type of metal.

• It changes color when wet.

What happens to the water in the beaker when instant snow is added?

• The water is absorbed by the polymer.

• The water changes color.

• The water turns into a gas.

• The water evaporates immediately.

During the transformation process, what does the polymer do to the water molecules?

• It releases them into the air.

• It traps them, turning the mixture into a solid.

• It changes their chemical structure.

• It makes them disappear.

What is observed when the polymer has absorbed all the water?

• The mixture remains a liquid.

• The mixture becomes a hard rock.

• The mixture becomes a soft, damp solid.

• The mixture turns into a powder.

What eventually happens to the water molecules trapped in the polymer?

• They turn into ice.

• They change into another polymer.

• They evaporate over time.

• They remain trapped forever.

What is the final state of the polymer after the water molecules have left?

• It returns to its original dry state.

• It becomes a different color.

• It becomes a liquid again.

• It turns into a gas.
