The total mass of the filled container with 8 cans is 7 kilograms, which is equal to 7000 grams.
If the empty container weighs 600 grams, then the total weight of the 8 cans is 7000 grams - 600 grams = 6400 grams.
Therefore, the mass of each can is 6400 grams / 8 = 800 grams.
The correct answer is 800 grams.
