What is the mass of an empty crucible?
The mass of an empty crucible depends on the material it is made of and its size. For example, a standard porcelain crucible with a capacity of 10mL might have a mass of around 15g, while a larger porcelain crucible with a capacity of 50mL might have a mass of around 40g. A platinum crucible of the same size would have a mass of several hundred grams.
