The mass of the substance is the quantity of matter that the sample weighs and is reflected in grams or kilograms.
Given,
Mass of empty sample container = 12.00 g
Mass of sample + empty container = 15.5465 g
The mass of the sample will be given as,
mass of sample = (Mass of sample + empty container) - ( Mass of empty container)
= (15.5465 g - 12.00g)
=3.5465 g
Therefore, 3.5465 gm is the mass of the sample, and the correct option is e.
