bulk density and particle density calculations

Hi

What's the difference between the weight of oven dry soil when calculating bulk density and weight of solids in calculating particle density? Is weight of oven dry soil= weight of solids or is it different for the two calculations?

Thank you :) Kristi

Hi Kristi Have a look at slide #8, lecture 4 The weight of solids = weight of oven dry soil (as the weight of air is negligible)

I believe it would be the same for the "two calculations" but to be sure I would need to see the two formulas you are referring too.
