George determines the mass of his evaporating dish to be 3.375 g. He adds a solid sample to the evaporating dish, and the mass of them combined is 26.719 g. What must be the mass of his solid sample

The given data is as follows.

Mass of evaporating dish = 3.375 g

Total mass = Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish

That is, Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish = 26.719 g

Therefore, we will calculate the mass of solid sample as follows.

Mass of solid sample = (Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish) - mass of evaporating dish

= 26.719 g - 3.375 g

= 23.344 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of his solid sample must be 23.344 g.
