Soil texture analysis is an essential process in environmental chemistry to determine the proportions of sand, silt, and clay in a soil sample. The texture affects water retention, nutrient availability, and overall soil health. One common method for analyzing soil texture is the hydrometer method. In this method, a soil sample is first air-dried and sieved to remove large debris. A known weight of the soil is then dispersed in a solution, usually containing a chemical dispersing agent like sodium hexametaphosphate, which prevents soil particles from clumping together. The mixture is thoroughly shaken
