A hot beaker warms the air around it, which causes it to rise. For very sensitive balances, the updraft produced can reduce the measured weight.

What do you check before using a triple beam balance?
to measure the mass of objects
Is beaker used in measuring exactly 15 g salt?
You need an analytical balance and a small beaker.
Why is there a need to use a watch glass or a piece of paper when weighing solid reagents?
In order to protect the pan of the balance from damage.
What is the the weight of a 250 ml beaker in milligrams?
250 grams because water density is the same for ML to GRAMS. No if it was filled with water to 250 ml the water would weigh 250 grams. The beaker would weigh whatever, depending on the thickness of the glass.
Why do you need to use water to find the volume of a solid?
You would need a graduated cylinder, a beaker, or a flask. You would use a test tube because it doesn't have the incraments going up along the side.
What equipment is needed to find out the densty of a pebble?
To work out the density of a pebble the equipment you need are the following : -A Displacement Can -A Beaker -A Weighing/measuring scale
Why you need to cool the sample first before you weigh it?
The reason you heat the test tube before weighing it is because of the residual moisture on the test tube itself. The weight of the glass itself will not change, but if there is moisture inside the tube, it could distort your readings. Therefore, you heat the test tube to evaporate any moisture remaining in the test tube to get an accurate weight measurement.
Do beans need to cool before refrigeration?
No
What is the compound deposited on the inside of the beaker?
You will need to tell us what was put into the beaker and what, if anything was done to the beaker. For instance, was the beaker heated? And resubmit your question.

Do chinchillas need to stay cool at all times of the day?
Yes you need to freeze them before baking.
What does it mean to zero an electronic balance?
Usually you add a container to the balance then zero it. Then when you add something to the container e.g. a liquid or solid then when you place the container back on the balance the reading shows you how much you have added. Saves having to work out how much you added by weighing the container, weighing the container plus contents and then subtracting. Removes one possible source of error i.e. incorrect subtraction of values. Also faster/easier when trying to measure out a specific amount of a substance.
What does a screw driver weigh?
Before you waste your time by weighing the screw driver, first answer the question of why you need to know how much it weighs , or why you even care...
What tools will you need to boil water?
hot plate and a beaker
I need pictures of beaker and graduated cylinder?
graduated cylinder
Why is it important to determine the rest point of the triple beam balance before using it?
You need to set the balance to zero before using it because it affects the accuracy of the measurement. Ideally, you should set the balance to zero before each weighing.
