Question

Distinguish between bulk density and particle density.

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil weight is most often expressed on a soil volume basis rather than on a particle basis. Bulk density is defined as the dry weight of soil per unit volume of soil. Bulk density considers both the solids and the pore space; whereas, particle density considers only the mineral solids. ... Now calculate the bulk density.
