Problem Set #1 Q4

As mentioned during lectures, mineral soils dominated by quartz and feldspar minerals (as specified in this question) have particle density of 2.65 g/cm3. Once you know the particle density and you are given porosity, you have all information needed to calculate bulk density. During lecture no.3, Sandra & I showed (ie wrote on the blackboard) what is the relationship among porosity (f), bulk density and particle density. Hence, check your lecture notes.
