why does paper tear on getting wet?
Asked by mohansharma8032 | 19 Jul, 2018, 04:41: PM
Expert Answer
When paper gets wet, however, those strong hydrogen bonds between cellulose fibers get broken down and the fibers separate more easily. This happens because water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. As a result, its molecules tend to form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl (hydrogen and oxygen) groups in the cellulose fibers.
