Answer :
3 soil types as mentioned in the experiment:
A: Sand
B: Loam
C: Clay
80 ml water was passed through each of them.
- Small-sized particles are found in clayey soil, large-sized particles are found in sandy soil, and both sizes are found in equal amounts in loamy soil.
- Soil that is clayey has the largest potential to hold water.
- Since, the table having incomplete set of observations is not attached, it is difficult to answer the amount of water retained by each soil type.
- However, since it is mentioned that Soil A i.e., sand had 40 ml water below in the beaker. This means that 40 ml of water was retained by Sand.
- The factors that should be kept constant in this experiment is:
- Amount/ Mass of soil taken
- Amount of water run through each soil type
