Question

Write an experiment to determine percentage absorption of water by soil. If the weight of soil is 150 g. Initial volume of water in the measuring cylinder was 200ml and the final volume was 150ml. Calculate the percentage absorption of water by soil.

Answer 1

Answer:

For example, If 200 ml of water is percolated through the soil sample in 40 min. Calculate the rate of percolation.

Solution – Rate of percolation is = amount of water (ml)/ percolation time (min)

= 200 ml/ 40 min

= 5 ml/ min

Ans- The rate of percolation is 5 ml/ min.
