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.
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.
The mass of an empty crucible can vary depending on its size and material. Typically, a small ceramic or metal crucible may weigh between 10 to 100 grams. For precise measurements, it's best to weigh the crucible on a balance scale before adding any substances for experimentation.
To drive off any volatile materials that might alter the mass of crucible and cover.
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.
Firing the empty crucible and cover to red heat removes any moisture and contaminants that may be present on the surfaces. This helps ensure a clean and consistent environment for subsequent experiments or material processing.

A crucible is used to contain chemical compounds when heated to extremely high temperatures.
Clay triangle is used to hold a crucible while the crucible is heated.

When magnesium is heated in a crucible, it combines with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide (MgO).

No, an empty container will not increase in mass when heated. Heating an empty container will not create additional matter within the container to increase its mass.
