To calculate the total pore space, we will find the difference between the mass of the soil when it is oven - dried and when it is saturated. Therefore, the value of the total pore space and total porosity are 45g and 45% respectively

Given that a 100 cm3 soil core weighs 78g when oven-dried and 123 g when saturated.

The given parameters are;

Volume of soil V = 100cm^{3}

Mass ( Oven dried) M_{1} = 78g

Mass ( Saturated) M_{2} = 123g

In the soil formation, pore space refers to the volume of soil. And to calculate the total pore space, we will find the difference between the mass of the soil when it is oven - dried and when it is saturated. That is,

Total pore space =  M_{2} - M_{1}

Total pore space = 123 - 78

Total pore space = 45g

And total porosity will be the percentage of the ratio of total pore space to the given volume of the soil. That is,

Total porosity = (Total pore space / volume of the soil) x 100

Total porosity = 45/100 x 100

Total porosity = 0.45 x 100

Total porosity = 45%

Therefore, the value of the total pore space and total porosity are 45g and 45% respectively

Why did President Jefferson want the Louisiana territory explored?
VLD [36.1K]
Thomas Jefferson had been interested in exploring the west well before the 1803 Louisiana Purchase for France.  During the 1780's and 1790's, he championed a few failed attempts at such an exploration.  Believing the United States needed to expand west to help ensure its survival and prosperity, he jumped at the chance to buy Louisiana from France's Napoleon Bonaparte.
