Undisturbed soil sample was collected from the field in steel Shelby tubes for
laboratory evaluation. The tube sample has a diameter of 71 mm, length of
558 mm, and a moist weight of 42.5 103 kN. If the oven-dried weight was
37.85 103 kN, and Gs 2.69, calculate the following:
a. Moist unit weight
b. Field moisture content
c. Dry unit weight
d. Void ratio
e. Degree of saturation

Solutions

Expert Solution

Moist unit weight = 19.244 kN/m^3

Moisture content = 10.96 %

Dry unit weight =17.1349 kN/m^3

Degree of Saturation =54.60 %

A soil scientist collected random soil samples from a field and measured the dissolved organic carbon (mg/L) level of each sample. The measurements are recorded in DissolvedOrganicCarbon.xlsx (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The researcher would like to test if the mean dissolved organic carbon level in the field is less than 14 mg/L. Use a significance level of 0.05. Part 1: Which hypothesis test is appropriate for this situation? The difference of means, using independent samples. ...

You collected a sample of soil from your backyard to use for as a source of inoculum for your isolate project, and want to use plating technique to determine the number of microbes present. Based on what you know about microbial cell counts in soil environments, you estimate that there might be up to 1010 cells per g of soil, but that in many soil samples only a small fraction (0.1-1%) of cells are typically able to be cultured on...

Two soil samples fully saturated were collected from the field for testing in the lab, both having a natural void ratio of 0.6. The composition of the soil particles is as follows: Sample 1: Composed of ONLY quartz [3] Sample 2: Composed of 65% quartz, 23% mica &12% iron oxide. [4] The average value of specific gravity of soil particles is 2.65 for quartz, 3.0 for mica and 3.8 for iron oxide. Calculate the total unit weight of soil...

The sulfur in a 5.00 g sample of steel was evolved as H2S and then collected in a solution of CdCl2 to produce the precipitate CdS. The CdS was then titrated with excess I2 and the remaining I2 was then back titrated with 4.82 ml of 0.0510 M sodium thiosulfate. If the concentration of the I2 is 0.0600 M and a total of 10.0 ml is added, calculate the %S in the steel. The relevant reactions are: CdS + I2...
