    Percent by mass = 40%

    Explanation:

    Mass of Compound before heating = 3.5g

    Mass of compound after heating = 2.1g

    Mass of water present = 3.5g - 2.1g = 1.4g

    Percent by mass = (Mass of water / Mass of compound) x 100

    Percentage by mass = (1.4 / 3.5) x 100

    Percent by mass = 0.4 x 100

    Percent by mass = 40%
