Question

Calculate the porosity of a sample that has a volume of 400 cubic centimeters and a

pore space volume of 100 cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

Porosity of sample = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total volume = 400 cubic centimeters

Pore space volume = 100 cubic centimeters

Find:

Porosity of sample

Computation:

Porosity of sample = [Pore space volume / Total volume]100%

Porosity of sample = [100 / 400]100%

Porosity of sample = [1/4]100%

Porosity of sample = [0.25]100

Porosity of sample = 25%
