Which of the following is a best practice in weighing solid samples?
Use weighing paper, a watch glass, a beaker, or some other container to measure mass of your solid samples.
Do not return the mass settings to zero mark; let the next user tare it for you.
Place chemicals directly on the balance pan.
For different trials of an experiment, use multiple balances for your measurements
I don't understand the wording. The least significant digit means the last digit?
