Weight of soil after drying = 270 g

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To Find -

Percentage of water moisture content in sample of soil

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step - step - Explanation -

According to question,

Since, the mass of dried soil is 270 g, moisture in soil = 300 g - 270 g

                                                                                             = 30 g

Hence the percentage = 30 / 300 x 100

                                      = 10 %

Thus , the percentage is 10 % .
