The percentage of a rock's total volume taken up by pore space is called the?
porosity of the rock.
What is the formula of the percentage by mass and volume?
Percentage by Mass = Mass of substance of interest/Total Mass Percentage by Volume = Volume of substance of interest/Total Volume Converting from one to the other requires information about their relative densities.
What is rock porosity?
Porosity is the percentage of void space in a rock. It is defined as the ratio of the volume of the voids or pore space divided by the total volume. It is written as either a decimal fraction between 0 and 1 or as a percentage. For most rocks, porosity varies from less than 1% to 40%.
How do you calculate the porosity for rhombohedral packing?
Porosity= Volume of void space/ Total volume of the solidThis is a good way for soil, If you have the initial volume of the soil then all you have to do to find the void space is saturate it with water. As long as you know the weight different between before and after saturation you can find the void space because we know that water's density is about 1g/cm^3.So,Porosity= ((mass of saturated soil - mass of original soil) Density of water) / Volume of original soilThis also works.
Does nitrogen have the higest percentage by volume in dry air?
yes. only the percentage is known (78.09%), because it is impossible to measure the total volume of air ( constantly changing).
What is the definition for volume in scientific terms?
Total amount of space it takes up.
How is mass different from volume?
mass is the total amount of matter present in a substance while its volume is the space which the matter occupies.
What is the formula of the percentage by mass and volume with diffinition?
The percentages refer to the amount of a substance of interest that is contained in a compound or mixture of that and other substances. Percentage by mass = 100*mass of substance of interest/total mass. Percentage by volume = 100*volume of substance of interest/volume mass. And, incidentally, the word is definition, not diffinition.
Is the percentage of total blood volume occupied by red blood cells?
The hematocrit percentage is the red blood cell percentage per total blood volume.About 40% t0 46% in health males.36% to 40% in healthy females.Varies in age and health conditions.
Gel-space ratio in concrete?
Gel space ratio is the ratio of volume of hydrated solids in pores to the total volume of pores available before hydration. It's given by X = (volume of gel) / (volume of gel + volume of pores) where Gel is solid hydrated product
How will you prove that volume of an atom is chiefly empty space?
This may appreciate knowing the volume of the atom, and the total volume of atomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons).
What is the total volume of the worlds salt water?
