Weigh mass before heating and weigh mass after heating.
Before mass - after mass.
When magnesium is heated in a crucible, it combines with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide (MgO).
If you do not cool the heated crucible to near room temperature before weighing, the measurement will be inaccurate due to the buoyancy effect of the air. A hot crucible will displace more air, leading to a lower weight reading than its actual mass. Additionally, the heat may cause moisture from the air to condense in the crucible, further affecting the weight. Accurate measurements require the crucible to be at a stable, known temperature.
You can check the temperature of the crucible by gently touching it with the back of your hand. If it feels cool to the touch, then it has likely returned to room temperature. Alternatively, you can use an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the crucible.
Calcium oxide is CaO.
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.
A crucible is used to contain chemical compounds when heated to extremely high temperatures.

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.
its used for collecting the gases that are let out of a solution when it is extensively heated.

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.
