Q. What is the use of a rider?

Ans.       A rider used for weighing less than 10 mg.

Q. Why the weights should not be lifted with hand?

Q. What is molarity?

Ans. The number of moles of the solute present per litre of the solution is called molarity. Or The molar concentration of a solution, the number of moles of solute per liter of solution

What is molality?

The number of moles of the solute present in 1000 grams of solvent is called molality.
