Chemists usually scoop powder out of their containers onto little squares of wax paper called "weighing paper" that they know the weight of before adding the powder. They can then weight the powder and paper together, subtract the paper's weight, and arrive at how much powder is on the paper. The powder can then be moved around on the paper and poured to wherever you need it. If you need a more accurate measurement or the substance is toxic, you can always weigh the container you want it in, "zero" your scale to this weight, and add your desired amount of powder.

I always put a crease on my weighing paper along the diagonal of the square to make pouring easier after measurement.
