  AASHTO USCS Tables and Graphs-1.pdfDetermine the most likely USCS soil classification for a soil sample with the following laboratory test parameters:   55% retained on No. 200 Sieve 55% coarse fraction passes the No. 4 Sieve 4% passes the No. 200 Sieve

The Constant-Head Permeability Test is most suited for these types of soils:

For the following salts, indicate whether the solution they make would be acidic, basic, neutral or indeterminate when placed in water:   A) KCl = [hydrolysis1] B) CaS = [hydrolysis2] C) (NH4)3PO4 = [hydrolysis3] D) FeCl3 = [hydrolysis4] E) Na2SO4 = [hydrolysis5]

The titration plots below all represent base titrated with acid.      Which of the plots represents a Strong Acid-Strong Base Titration? [drop1] Which of the plots represents a Weak Acid – Strong Base Titration? [drop2]
