Question: Problem 2 : Soil type: 3 0 % Illite, 5 0 % Kaolinite, 1 5 % Smectite. The pore water has 0 . 0 0

Problem 2: Soil type: 30% Illite, 50% Kaolinite, 15% Smectite.
The pore water has 0.00075MAlCl3. Temperature 24C
Determine:
i) The double layer thickness.
ii) The surface potential.
iii) Potential at a distance 5 angstroms.
iv) Assuming that the slipping plane is at a distance of 5 angstroms, what will be EO
velocity in the pores under an electric gradient of 30Vm?
v) Determine keo for this soil. Assume 36% porosity.
vi) Determine the EO flow rate through a 3m2m cross-section.
