Picture this in your mind as you read it: You weigh an empty, clean, dry beaker on the balance (scale). It weighs 32.15 grams. You are instructed to measure out 2.0 grams of solid X and put it in the beaker you just weighed. Using weighing paper, you weigh out 2.0 grams of solid X and carefully transfer it into the beaker. You now weigh the beaker WITH the solid in it and get a mass of 34.40 grams. What is the weight of the solid, using the correct number of significant figures? 2.0 grams, just as you weighed it before putting it in the beaker. 2.00 grams, using the correct number of significant figures. The mass is 34.40 g -32.15 g -2.3 grams The mass is 34.40 g -32.15 g -2.25 grams
