If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).
Porosity is not affected by particle size.Wiki User

What is the relationship between bulk density and porosity?
A value for porosity can alternatively be calculated from the bulk density ρbulk and particle density ρparticle: Normal particle density is assumed to be approximately 2.65 g/cm3, although a better estimation can be obtained by examining the lithology of the particles.
Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?
Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.
What is definition of particle density?
Particle Density is how deep in volume something is for example: the density of water and sand.
What is the relationship between mass and volume?
Density is equal to mass divided by volume. As mass increases so does volume so this is a direct relationship.
What is the relationship between the mass and volume of milk?
mass / volume is density.

How does density relate to porosity?
The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.
What are the differences between soil bulk density and particle density?
Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t) Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).
What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
How do you find porosity of a soil when all you are given is the dry density and the particle density of the soil.. and can you find bulk density with just this info?
Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity
Is the relationship linear between density and temperature?
The relationship between density and temperature is linear. In a thermal expansion, density will decrease and temperature increases and vice versa.
What is the relationship between density and plate tectonics?
they both have density
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
What are type of foods that have significant and application of solid density bulk density and porosity?
for beans
What is a relationship between mass and space?
density
Is there a relationship between density and magnitude?
yes
Is there a direct relationship between density and warmth?
No.
