Contoh Soal :
A sample of wet soil in a drying dish has a mass of 462 g. After drying in an oven at
110 C overnigth, the sample and dish have a mass of 364 g. The mass of the dish alone
is 39 g
Required Determine the water content of the soil.
Perhitungan :
Berat cawan + tanah basah = (W1) = 462 gram
Berat cawan + tanah kering = (W2) = 364 gram
Berat cawan kosong = (W3) = 39 gram
Berat air = (W1-W2)
= (462-364) gram = 98 gram
Berat tanah kering = (W2-W3)
=(364-39) gram = 325 gram
Kadar air = (W1-W2) / (W2-W3) x 100%
=( 462-364) / (364-39) x 100%
= 98/325 x100 %= 30.15 %
