Interpretation:
The reason for top-loading balance to be a poor choice to weigh
Concept introduction:
Balances and scales are used in the laboratory to compare mass of two sets of objects or determine mass of an object or set of objects. Most common types of balances utilized in the laboratory are spring balances and top-loading.
Explanation of Solution
A top-loading balance is the most common type of weight measurement scales used in the laboratory and comes with a variety of shapes, sizes, and levels of complexity. But the top-loading is only accurate to

- What are the dispersed phase and dispersion medium in milk?arrow_forwardSERIAL DILUTION: PROBLEM SOLVING. Set up five (5) tubes on the test tube rack and label them 1-5. Place 0.9 ml of saline to tube #1 and 0.5 ml of saline to tubes # 2-5. Add 0.1 ml of patient's serum to tube #1, mix and transfer 0.5 ml of the mixture to tube # 2. Then, mix and transfer 0.5 ml of the mixture to tube # 3. Mix and continue dilutions through tube # 5. Discard O.5 ml from tube # 5. Finally, add 0.5 ml of the reagent to each tube # 1-5. Compute for the initial dilution of tube #1 and final dilution of tube #5. Show your computation and encircle your final answer.arrow_forward5.
