They usually have a readability of 0.1 mg to 0.01 g, while analytical balances have a readability of 0.0001 g (0.1 mg) or better. Analytical balances are designed for precise measurements of small samples and have a higher sensitivity and accuracy than Show more…

As part of the calibration of a new laboratory balance, a 1.000 g mass is weighed with the following results given below. The balance is: Trial Mass 1 1.201 ± 0.001 2 1.202 ± 0.001 3 1.200 ± 0.001 Accurate but imprecise. Accuracy and precision are impossible to determine with the available information. Both inaccurate and imprecise. Both accurate and precise. Precise but inaccurate.

Suppose you place an old fashioned hourglass, with sand in the bottom, on a very sensitive analytical balance to determine its mass. You then turn it over (handling it with very clean gloves) and place it back on the balance. You want to predict whether the reading on the balance will be less than, greater than, or the same as before. What do you need to calculate to answer this question? Explain carefully what should be calculated and what the results would imply. You do not need to attempt the calculation.
I need a horizontal analysis of the balance sheet.
