ELECTRONIC WEIGHING SCALE

Weighing scales are used to measure weight and/or mass of an object,

reports the United States Department of Agriculture. Dozens of types of
scales exist, but the simplest scale uses a beam and a pivot to balance the
weight of one known object with another. More modern weighing scales
use digital calibration to give a more accurate and quicker reading
Chemists often deal with chemical equations that call for specific amounts
of substances and different concentrations of solutions. If you wanted to
make 1 gram of a 20 percent solution of sodium chloride (table salt), you
would need to measure out 0.2 grams of NaCl and 0.8 grams of water,
otherwise you cannot get an exact 20 percent solution.
