5. The smell of "adobo" (adobo is a Filipino dish) from the kitchen reaches living room - Diffusion

6. The stain from the toilet is removed when muriatic acid is poured on it. - Bleaching

7. A metal is flattened to sheets - Malleability

8. The roots of a plant receive water when water is poured on the surface of the soil - Osmosis

9. Diamonds glow - Lustre.
