Question: True density of most mineral soils is usually
Options:
1.35 g/cm³
1.65 g/cm³
2.65 g/cm³
3.5 g/cm³
✅ Explanation:
-True density (also called particle density) refers to the density of the solid soil particles themselves, excluding the pore spaces. The majority of mineral soils have a true density close to 2.65 g/cm³ because they are primarily composed of quartz and other silicate minerals, which have densities around this value.
