Mass by difference?

mass by difference is an indirect way to find the mass of an object. For example, if you know the mass of a 'beaker and the substance in it' and the 'mass of the beaker', you can determine the mass of the substance by subtracting (mass of beaker + substance) - (mass of beaker)

Why is caution advised when acidifying the bicarbonate solution of sodium benzoate?

If too much NaHCO3 is added at once, the excess NaHCO3 will form CO2 and water. So be careful not to do this or you will lose the contents of your beaker.


When measuring the mass of NaCl why would you measure the vial and contents then the empty vial?

So that you can calculate the mass of the contents alone, by subtracting the mass of the empty vial from the mass of the vial and contents.
