Answer:
2.25 g
Explanation:
The mass of the solid X must be the total mass (beaker + solid X) less than the mass of the beaker. Then:
mass of the solid X = 34.40 - 32.15
mass of the solid X = 2.25 g
The difference of 0.25 g must occur for several problems: an incorrect weight in the balance, the configuration of the balance, the solid can be hydrophilic and absorbs water, and others.
0.048 percent is the answer
