Briefly describe how you would use these objects to heat the contents of a test tube. C B A F D E
Briefly describe how you would use these objects to heat the contents of a test tube. First, put on safety goggles and lab apron. Tie back long hair and check your shirt sleeves. Second, light alcohol burner with match. Third, remove test tube from rack and hold test tube with test tube clamp. Finally, when heating test tube, hold with clamp, place bottom of test tube over flame, and point the opening away from your face.

Once you have balanced the scale, you add up the amounts on each beam to find the total mass. What would be the mass of the object measured in the picture? _______ + ______ + _______ = ________ g Measuring Mass (basic description.) We will be using triple-beam balances to find the mass of various objects. The objects are placed on the scale and then you move the weights on the beams until you get the lines on the right-side of the scale to match up.
