If you put dried apricots in water, they absorb the water and at least try to return to their pre-drying state. (They're never quite the same as before, but they will absorb a lot of water.) If you leave them in water too long, though, they'll get moldy and you'll have to throw them away.

What will happen if dried apricots are kept in sugar solution?
If dried apricots are kept in a sugar solution, they will absorb the moisture from the solution, becoming plump and rehydrated. The sugar solution will also enhance the sweetness of the apricots and act as a preservative, prolonging their shelf life. However, it's important to consume them in moderation due to the added sugar content.
Why should the dried sample be kept in desiccator for cooling?
If a dried sample is warm, it will absorb water from the air while cooling. Placing it in a desiccator puts it in a dry atmosphere where no moisture is available to be absorbed from the air.
Why do dry apricots placed in salt solution do not swell while they do so when kept in water?
Dry apricots placed in a salt solution do not swell because the salt solution has a higher osmotic pressure than the apricot cells, preventing water from entering them. On the other hand, when placed in water, the apricots swell because water moves into the cells due to osmosis, balancing the concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane.
What will happen to water if it kept in freezer?
Water will freeze and turn into ice if kept in a freezer. The low temperature causes the molecules in the water to slow down and form a rigid crystalline structure.
What would happen to a plant that was kept in the dark?
It would die.
