question_answer 17)

Razia conducted an experiment in the field related to the rate of percolation. She observed that it took 40 min for 200 mL of water to percolate through the soil sample. Calculate the rate of percolation.

Answer:

Given, Time = 40 min Volume of water = 200 mL Amount of water (mL) So, \[rate\,of\,percolation\,=\frac{Amount\,of\,water(mL)}{Percolation\,time\,\left( \min \right)}\] \[=\frac{200}{40}=5mL/min\] Therefore, percolation rate of water = 5 mL/min.
