  2. Scale (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(chemistry)

    Use of the term "scale" is unrelated to the concept of weighing; rather it is related to cognate terms in mathematics (e.g., geometric scaling, the linear transformation that enlarges or shrinks objects, and scale parameters in probability theory), and in applied areas (e.g., in the scaling of images in architecture, engineering, cartography ...

  3. Analytical balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_balance

    Before using a triple beam balance, the scale pointer should be at zero. [6] The zero adjustment knob can be used to adjust the scale pointer. Place the objects on the pan and adjust the riders until the scale pointer is at zero again, and then sum the weights marked (e.g. the 4th notch of 100 gram beam is 400g) to find the weight of the sample.

  4. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    Pointers - The scale pointer marks the equal point of the object's mass on the scale and mass on the beam; Zero adjustment knob - This is used to manually adjust the triple beam balance to the 'zero' mark (check to ensure that the pointer is at zero before use). Before using triple beam balance, the scale pointer should be at zero.

  5. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    The balance (also balance scale, beam balance and laboratory balance) was the first mass measuring instrument invented. [1] In its traditional form, it consists of a pivoted horizontal lever with arms of equal length – the beam or tron – and a weighing pan [10] suspended from each arm (hence the plural name "scales " for a

  6. Scale (descriptive set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(descriptive_set_theory)

    Scales were originally isolated as a concept in the theory of uniformization, [1] but have found wide applicability in descriptive set theory, with applications such as establishing bounds on the possible lengths of wellorderings of a given complexity, and showing (under certain assumptions) that there are largest countable sets of certain ...

  7. Microscale chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscale_chemistry

    Microscale chemistry (often referred to as small-scale chemistry, in German: Chemie im Mikromaßstab) is an analytical method and also a teaching method widely used at school and at university levels, working with small quantities of chemical substances. While much of traditional chemistry teaching centers on multi-gramme preparations ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale

    Scale (descriptive set theory), an object defined on a set of points; Scale (ratio), the ratio of a linear dimension of a model to the corresponding dimension of the original; Scale factor, a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity; Long and short scales, how powers of ten are named and grouped in large numbers

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
