Answer 1

FOR DOING THE ACTIVITY FIRST WE NEED TO KNOW THAT , WHAT IS PERCOLATION RATE ?

Percolation rate: The amount of water that seeps through a soil sample in a given time is called its percolation rate .

_________________________

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Aim \: Of \: The \: Activity}}}}$

To show the percolation rate of water in different soils or for the given soil sample.

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Material \: Required }}}}$

soil sample , stop watch , 100ml of water(amount can vary)

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Procedure }}}}$

• Take the soil sample in a beaker and add 100ml of water.

• As the water seeps down from the soil sample note the time taken.

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Observation }}}}$

Note the time till the water seeps down in the given soil sample.

(Reason : Due to water holding capacity between the intermolecular space, the water takes time to seep down )

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Calculation }}}}$

$\sf Percolation \: rate = \dfrac{Amount \: of \: water (ml)}{Percolation \: time(min)}$

Confused ? Never Mind .. let's take an example

Question - a certain sample took 30 minutes for 300 mL to percolate. Find its percolation rate .

$\sf Percolation \: rate = \dfrac{300 ml}{30 min}$ = 10 ml / min

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Result }}}}$

• The calculation can be done according to the noted reading confirms the percolation rate of the soil sample.

• The unit of percolation rate will be in ml/min.

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Note - }}}}$

• Sandy soil has highest rate of percolation of water and least water holding capacity.

• Clayey soil has least percolation rate and highest water holding capacity.

• Loamy soil has the percolation rate in between Sandy soil and Clayey soil with right amount of water holding capacity.

Answer 2

$answer$

Percolation rate: The amount of water that seeps through a soil sample in a given time is called its percolation rate .

(Reason : Due to water holding capacity between the intermolecular space, the water takes time to seep down )

Percolation rate= Amount of water(ml)

Percolationtime(min)

Confused ? Never Mind .. let's take an example

Question - a certain sample took 30 minutes for 300 mL to percolate. Find its percolation rate .

percolation rate 300ml

30minute

=10ml/minute

• The calculation can be done according to the noted reading confirms the percolation rate of the soil sample.

• The unit of percolation rate will be in ml/min.

Result

• Sandy soil-has highest rate of percolation of water and least water holding capacity.

• Clayey soil- has least percolation rate and highest water holding capacity.

• Loamy soil- has the percolation rate in between Sandy soil and Clayey soil with right amount of water holding capacity.
