Question

Poja conducted an experiment in the field related to the rate of percolation of water in soil. She finds that it took 20 minutes for 100 mL of water to percolate through the soil sample. Calculate the rate of percolation.

Answer 1

percolation rate of water= 5ml/per minute

Answer 2

Answer:

5mL/min

Explanation:

Amount of water : 100 mL

Time : 20 minutes

So if 100 mL water percolates in 20 minutes,

Then 100/20 mL water percolates in 1 minute

So, 200/20 = 5

So, the rate of percolation is 5mL/min
