How do you know if the numbers on the two sides of the balance are equal?
Before you measure with it you set both sides of the balance equal to zero so then when you measure they will either equal the same or balance out.
Should the balance pointer be set to zero before weighing?
Yes - otherwise it will give a false reading.
How do you measure 400mg tetracycline to 1 gallon of water for chickens?
You will need an analytical balance to weigh the 400 mg of tetracycline, assuming it is in solid form to start with. Put a piece of weighing paper onto the balance, and tare it to zero. Spoon the tetracycline onto the paper until the balance reads 400 mg. Pour the tetracycline into a gallon of water, and stir until it dissolves.
What error will be intoduced if you fail to set the zero point of the balance before making a reading?
The reading could be too high or too low.
What does it mean to zero a balance?
which the body is not balanced
