Question

Calculate the percentage of absorbtion in a soil in wich 300ml water was poured and 200ml of water was collected in the beaker. weight of soil is 50gm​

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of water absorbed by the soil = (U - V) mL. Weight of water absorbed by the soil = (U - V) g (1 mL of water has weight equal to 1 g). Percentage of water absorbed = [(U-V) / 50]100.

Answer 2

Given,
Amount of water = 200 mL
Percolation time = 40min
Rate of percolation = Amount of water in mL / Percolation time in min
=200 / 40
=5 mL/min.
Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 5 mL/min.
