What is the purpose of taring the crucible before using the incineration process?

It reduces errors caused by variations in the weight of the crucible itself.Taring is accurately establishing the empty weight of the crucible, which can vary with contaminants, residue, or oxides. By repeatedly heating, cooling, and weighing the crucible, until there is only an acceptable variation between weighings, the actual weight of samples before and after incineration can be more precisely measured.
