You find a clean 100-ml beaker, label it "#1", and place it on a tared electronic balance. You add small amount of unknown solid and place the beaker with its contents on the balance. The recorded data is:
mass of the empty, clean beaker #1: 74.605 g
mass of the beaker #1 with the white solid: 74.896 g
Using the Law of Conservation of Mass, what is the mass of the unknown solid you placed in beaker #1?

the mas is .291 g

Explanation:

the mass of a object does not change. so when added the substance the beaker. you had the mass of both objects together. you know the mass of the beaker and you know the mass of both. since mass does not change. the beakers mass is still 74.605g. the mass of both objects is 74.896. all you have to do is subtract the mass of the beaker from the total mass. 74.896 - 74.605 equals .291g. so the mass of the unknown substance Is .291g

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
