Answer:
a. WATER CONTENT.
mass of water (MW)= 417g - 225g
Mw= 192g
M= (Mw / Ms)
M= [192/417]
M= 0.46
M= 46.0%
b. Void Ration (e)
To calculate the void ratio we must first calculate the volume of solids. Then we can find the volume of voids by subtracting the volume of solids from the total volume.
Ps= (Ms/Vs)=GsPw
Therefore
Vs= (Ms/GsPw)
Vs= (417/ 2.70*1000)
Vs= 0.154cm3
But V= Vv+Vs
Vv=V-Vs
e= (Vv/Vs)
Answer:
