Answer

33.33 % (Correct to 3 s.f)

Explain

## Step 1:<br />Measure the absolute change in mass, which is the subtracting the initial mass from the final mass<br />### \(\text{Mass change} = \text{Final mass} - \text{Initial mass} = 8g - 6g = 2g \)<br /><br />## Step 2:<br />Then, to calculate the percent change in mass, divide the change in mass by the original mass and multiply by 100 to get your answer in percent form<br />### \(\% \text{mass change} = \left[\frac{\text{mass change}}{\text{initial mass}}\right] \times 100\% = \left[\frac{2g}{6g}\right] \times 100\% = 33.333...\%\)
