Sample Weight After Drying
Trial Initial Weight (Crucible) % Moisture
Weight (Sample + Crucible)
1 25.0638 25.0636 0.7011 25.7612 25.7609 0.54%
2 20.3538 20.3536 0.7217 21.0716 21.0713 0.55%
3 22.8509 22.8507 0.7297 23.5765 23.5765 0.53%
Note: Round final answer to two decimal places Average 0.54%

Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

Moisture% = 25.7647 – 25.7609 Moisture% = 21.0753– 21.0713 Moisture% = 23.5804-23.5765

= 0.0038/0.7011 = 0.004/0.7217 = 0.0039/0.7297
= 0.0054 * 100 =0.0055 * 100 =0.0053 * 100
= 0.54% = 0.55% = 0.53%

DISCUSSION

The result of the experiment was unexpectedly the same. The experiment concludes the limestones contain little
moisture.
