The uncertainty value of any measurement instrument is half of it's smallest unit it measures. for example, a graduated cylinders measures by half mL, so the uncertainty would be plus or minus .25 g

What are the differences between electronic balance and analytical balance?

Electronic balances need no such known masses once they have been properly calibrated. Analytical balances are very accurate and until the advent of semiconductors were the only scales available.


How do you properly clean an analytical balance?

To properly clean an analytical balance, use a soft brush or cloth to remove any debris or dust. Then, use a mild detergent and water solution to wipe down the surfaces. Be careful not to get any liquids inside the balance. Finally, use a lint-free cloth to dry the balance thoroughly before use.


Why is the iron weighed accurately on an analytical balance while the copper sulfate is weighed on a top-pan balance?

Iron may be weighed on an analytical balance because the precise measurement is important for accuracy in experiments or calculations. Copper sulfate, on the other hand, is less sensitive to small variations in weight, making a top-pan balance sufficient for its measurement.


What is analytical and top pan balance?

Analytical balances are those which weigh with a precision of 0.0001g (0.1mg) or better. Typically these balances have the platform enclosed within a large draft shield to help stabilize the readout. Top pan balances, or toploader balances are used to describe balances with one weighing pan on the top of the device.

How do you determine the uncertainty in an analytical balance reading?

The uncertainty in an analytical balance reading is typically determined by the manufacturer's specifications, which provide information on factors such as repeatability, linearity, and sensitivity of the balance. This information is used to calculate the uncertainty in the measurement based on the instrument's performance characteristics. Additionally, factors like environmental conditions and calibration procedures can also influence the uncertainty in the balance reading.

What is the lightest weight which can be weighed in an analytical balance?

This depends on the balance model; for a typical balance this value is 0,1 mg.

What is the uncertainty of a centigram balance?

The uncertainty of a centigram balance typically ranges from ±0.01 g to ±0.001 g, depending on the specific model and its calibration. This means that when measuring mass, the true value could vary by this amount from the displayed reading. Generally, higher-quality balances will have lower uncertainty, providing more precise measurements. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate information regarding a specific balance's uncertainty.


What is the first step in the analytical procedures process used in an audit?

The first step in the analytical procedures process is the development of an expected account balance.

What is the difference between loading balance and analytical balance?

a top loading balance is use to weigh solid material when a precision of 0.1 g is adequate. If you want to get more accurate mass measurements or small amounts it's better to use an analytical balance. Also, analytical balances have capacity to weigh up to about 200 g with resolution from 0.0001 to 0.00001 g. Top loading balances, on the other hand, can weigh in excess of 5 kg with resolution from 1 to 0.001 g. As capacity increases, the number of decimal places normally decreases.
