Weigh mass before heating and weigh mass after heating. Before mass - after mass.
holding your hand about 1 cm above the crucible to test is still hot..Caleb!
oxygen...it forms magnesium oxide
The clay triangle is used to hold a crucible while the crucible is heated.
A crucible is placed in a pipestem triangle placed on an iron ring while being heated. This supports the crucible while allowing the bottom of the crucible to be directly exposed to the flame of the Bunsen burner. There is no item that is used to distribute heat from a Bunsen burner when heating the bottom of a crucible. The bottom of the crucible is intended to be exposed to the direct flame of the Bunsen burner.
The empty crucible is heated AND WEIGHED, so that you can drive off any moisture and/or other particles that might add to the weight of the empty crucible. You will eventually weigh the crucible again at the end of the experiment to determine the weight (mass) of some compound. Thus, it is important to have a correct "starting mass" of the crucible.
A crucible is used to contain chemical compounds when heated to extremely high temperatures.

because it is faster
oxygen. O2 was combined with magnesium when it ws heated in the crucible
It is necessary to cover the crucible when it is being heated for two basic reasons: primarily, it maintains a higher temperature inside the crucible. Without the lid, the heat simply escapes. Secondly, it keeps the material inside the crucible from splashing out.

We want to weight exactly only the material - variations of the crucible mass lead to errors. That's why the mass of the crucible must be stabilized.This is very important in gravimetry, it is a basic rule.
Only by experiments. For example the solution is heated, water is evaporated and the salt weighed.
