Why do scientists measure and record mass instead of weight

Asample of the male sex hormone testosterone, c19h28o2, contains 3.88×10^21 atoms of hydrogen.(a) how many atoms of carbon does it contain? (b) how many molecules of testosterone does it contain? (c) how many moles of testosterone does it contain? (d) what is the mass of this sample in grams?

A3.37-mg sample of protein was chemically digested to convert its nitrogen into ammonia and then diluted to 100.0 ml. then 10.0 ml of this solution was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask and treated with 5 ml of phenol solution plus 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution. the sample was diluted to 50.0 ml, and the absorbance at 625 nm was measured in a 1.00-cm cuvette and found to be 0.486. for reference, a standard solution was prepared from 10.0 mg of nh4cl (molar mass = 53.49 grams/mole) dissolved in 1.00 l of water. then 10.0 ml of this standard was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask, treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.323. finally, a reagent blank was prepared using distilled water in place of unknown, it was treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.076. calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein.

Diffraction is when light is bent around obstructions. which of the these observation about clouds would indicate diffraction? a) after rain storms, you can sometimes see rainbows. b) clouds are white or gray and cannot be seen through. c) on a cloudy day, the temperature tends to be cooler than a sunny day. d) the edges of dark clouds appear lighter. this
