Answer

To calculate the mass of the salt, subtract the mass of the empty boiling tube from the mass of the boiling tube with salt:

extMassofsalt=extMassofboilingtube+saltextMassofemptyboilingtube=24.16extg22.52extg=1.64extg ext{Mass of salt} = ext{Mass of boiling tube + salt} - ext{Mass of empty boiling tube} = 24.16 ext{ g} - 22.52 ext{ g} = 1.64 ext{ g}
