In an experiment to determine the percentage of organic matter in a soil sample, The following data was collected :
weight of oven-dried soil before burning =50g
weight of oven-dried soil after burning = 28g
Determine the percentage of organic matter in the soil
The percentage of organic matter in the soil can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the oven-dried soil after
burning from the weight before burning, and then dividing by the weight before burning. Therefore, the percentage of
organic matter is ((50g - 28g) / 50g) * 100% = 44%. Hence, the correct option is 2.
