Question 1

In a wet soil, where do chemicals mainly bind?

  • To mineral surfaces
  • To organic carbon
  • Neither

💡 Hint: Consider the saturation level of the soil.

Question 2

True or False: Dry soils have no binding sites available for chemicals.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on what dry soil means.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample is found with varying moisture content from wet (saturated) to dry. Calculate the expected distribution of a contaminant introduced into this environment based on the soil’s moisture properties and provide recommendations for remediation based on observed conditions.

💡 Hint: Use the moisture definitions and binding behaviors to guide your predictions.

Question 2

Discuss how chemical partitioning differs in a damp soil that is experiencing intermittent wetting and drying cycles. Provide a theoretical framework for the expected chemical behavior.

💡 Hint: Consider the changes in moisture and analyze how this affects chemical properties.
