To drive off any volatile materials that might alter the mass of crucible and cover.
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 crucible must be cold before weighing because the heat from the crucible will warms the surrounding air
Crucibles are porcelain-like containers used in chemistry to heat substances to very high temperatures. Crucible tongsare large pincers made of welded steel that are used to grasp and take a hot crucible out of a fire or furnace, or to move a crucible from one location to another.
heat rises. less mass i think
Covering the crucible with its lid as soon as magnesium starts burning is crucial to prevent the reaction from continuing uncontrollably. This action deprives the burning magnesium of oxygen, which is necessary for combustion, thus extinguishing the flame and preventing potential hazards such as excessive heat production or the release of harmful gases. Additionally, it helps contain any reaction products and ensures safety during the experiment.
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.

The mortar and pestle is not recommended to be heated.
Well you see that the heat causes the crucible to blow up, almost causing an explosion. This then causes the MgNO4 gas to heat to it's 1.023 degree compound of 2 to the -2 power. The air inside of the metal makes the gas for the crucible go down and the mass changes in a way that is similar to a dog when he eats very hot grass on a very warm summer day (150 degree gas; 100 degree day). Hope this helps, Gilbert
Heating an uncovered crucible allows moisture to escape and prevents any pressure buildup inside the crucible, which could result in an explosion. It also ensures that any volatile substances can evaporate before the main heating begins, preventing any sudden release of gases.
It is called a Crucible
The primary function of a crucible is to hold and heat substances at high temperatures, typically used in chemistry labs for melting, mixing, or heating materials. A cover is used to either contain the material within the crucible or to protect it from external contaminants while heating.

After the crucible absorbed the direct heat it alowed the mixture to cook evenly.
I'm assuming you mean a crucible and lid (the little white things you place in ovens or on the top of Bunsen burners)? If you do, then a crucible and a lid is a way to get an anhydrized solid (a solid which may have H2O mixed in amongst the pure solid) and turn it into pure product by evaporating away all of the water in the solid.
A crucible is a container used for heating substances to high temperatures in laboratory settings. A lid is a cover that can be placed on top of the crucible to prevent the escape of substances during heating and to protect the contents from contamination. Together, they are used for controlled heating and chemical reactions in experiments.
