Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
