Water that occupies the space between particles and whose removal causes shrinkage is called

  • A.pore water
  • B.chemically combined water
  • C.surface adsorbed water
  • D.shrinkage water

Answer: D

Correct answer: shrinkage water

Shrinkage water, sometimes called interparticle water, is the film separating the particles, and its removal lets them approach one another - hence the contraction. Pore water occupies the voids that remain once the particles are touching and leaves without shrinkage, and chemically combined water is bound in the clay lattice and comes off only on firing.
