The mass of the solid sample (in grams) is 7.724.

  • Let the mass of a solid sample be Ms.
  • Let the mass of weigh boat be Wb.
  • Let the mass of weigh boat and sample be Ws.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of weigh boat, Wb  = 1.769 grams.
  • Mass of weigh boat and sample, Ws  = 9.493 grams.

To find the mass of the solid sample (in grams);

[tex]Ws = Ms + Wb[/tex]

Substituting the values into the above equation, we have;

[tex]9.493 = Ms + 1.769\\\\Ms = 9.493 - 1.769[/tex]

Mass of solid sample, Ms = 7.724 grams

Therefore, the mass of the solid sample (in grams) is 7.724.
