A bottle filled with previously moistened mustard seeds and water was screw-capped tightly and kept in a corner. It blows up suddenly after about half an hour due to the phenomenon of imbibition. The absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbent causing it to enormously increase in volume without forming a solution is called imbibition.
