To solve for the percent water in the sample, we follow the written formula below.

Percentage Water = (Wi - Wf)/Wi*100

Where: Wi = initial weight
             Wf = final weight

Given:

Wi = 1.972 g
Wf = 1.641 g

Required: Percentage Water in the Sample

Solution:

Percentage Water = (Wi - Wf)/Wi*100
Percentage Water = (1.972-1.641)/1.972*100
Percentage Water = 16.8%

ANSWER: 16.8%
