Mix it for about 2 minutes using the mixer.

Answer 1

The experiment was carried out with a graduated cylinder with soil washed out from the mixer cup and filled with distilled water upto 1000-cm3 mark.Prepare a deflocculating agent sodium hexametaphosphate also called a Clogan amouting to 4% I e., About 40g and add to the initial taken ovendry sample of 50g.Thus the combined sample is allowed to soak from 8-12 hrs .Fill the graduated cylinder with deflocculating agent mix and fill the remaining cylinder with distilled water and put the cylinder in constant temperature bath and record the temperature to be T°C say.By placing a hydrometer In the mixed solution of the graduated cylinder record the temperature for zero correction which may be either negative or positive.Add up the soil and deflocculating sample allowed to soak into the mix and add some distilled water to get it mixed throroughly for a few min.Now transfer this mix into a new graduated cylinder and make sure that there are no Any traces of soil samples attached In the first graduated cylinder and fill the same upto 1000cm3 with distilled water by fitting it with a rubber stopper make the cylinder up and down as many times as possible .Now using the hydrometer record the initial cumulative time t=0 and repeat the same procedure with cumulative times t=0.25,0.5,0.85,1 and remove the hydrometer from the cylinder after two min place the hydrometer into the next cylinder sample and repeat the procedure as above.
