One step in a calibration procedure requires you to "tare" a balance (scale). What does this mean?

  • A Put the largest weight you have on the balance
  • B Remove the draft shield from the balance
  • C Remove the pan from the balance
  • D Make the balance read zero, even if something is on it 
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Taring a balance means to reset the balance to zero, even if there is something already placed on it. This is done to ensure accurate measurements by subtracting the weight of the container or any other objects placed on the balance, allowing only the weight of the desired substance to be measured.
