The mass of the substance is the quantitative measure of the physical object. The mass of the sample must be reported as 3.5465 g. Thus, option e is correct.
<h3>What is mass?</h3>
The mass of the substance is the quantity of matter that the sample weighs and is reflected in grams or kilograms.
Given,
Mass of empty sample container = 12.00 g
Mass of sample + empty container = 15.5465 g
The mass of the sample will be given as,
mass of sample = (Mass of sample + empty container) - ( Mass of empty container)
= (15.5465 g - 12.00g)
=3.5465 g
Therefore, 3.5465 gm is the mass of the sample, and the correct option is e.
Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was, A label on an empty sample container reads 12.00 g. you add in a sample of a compound and the mass of the sample container obtaining 15.5465 g. what should the mass of the sample be reported as?
- 3.546 g
- 3.54 g
- 4 g
- 4.0 g
- 3.5465 g
