7. An empty crucible was weighed on an electronic balance. Then a piece of

magnesium ribbon was added to the crucible and it was reweighed. The
crucible was heated strongly so that all the magnesium changed into
magnesium oxide, and the crucible was reweighed. The three readings on the
balance are shown below.

Mass of crucible/g 15.68
