Question

An empty crucible with a mass of 34.24 g has a mass of 38.35 g when it contains a compound. What is the mass of the compound?

Answer 1

The mass of the compound is 4.11 g.

Explanation:

You subtract the mass of the crucible from the mass of the crucible and compound.

`"Mass of crucible + compound = 38.35 g"`
`ul("Mass of crucible" color(white)(mmmmmml)= "34.24 g")`
`"Mass of compound" color(white)(mmmmm) = color(white)(ll)"4.11 g"`
