Explanation:

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.
