Please provide the full derivation of equation 2. It's based on Archimedes’ principle to find porosity in solid sample. Thank you very much!
Va (apparent volume )= (Mair - MH20)/ (pH20- pair) equation 1
Total Porosity [%] = {[(Msolvent- Mair) / (psolvent)] / Va } x 100 equation 2
Where: Va= apparent volume
Mair= mass of air
MH20= mass of water
Msolvent= mass of solvent
pH20= density of water
pair= density of air
psolvent= density of solvent
Porosity is measure of the empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of empty space to the total volume.
