Mia Villarreal · Answer 1

6.4 grams

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mass of the evaporating dish = 32.79 grams

Mass of the dish after following the procedure 1b in the separation lab = 39.19 grams

Therefore

The mass of the salt collected will be equal to the difference of the mass measured after and before following the procedure 1b

Thus,

Mass of salt collected = 39.19 grams - 32.79 grams

= 6.4 grams
