Suppose we want to charge a flask with 1.6 g of sugar. We put the empty flask on a balance and it is determined to weigh 330 g. Enter the weight we would expect to see on the balance when we're done adding the sugar.

    We expect 331.6 grams on the balance

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Mass of the empty flask = 330 grams

    We want a mass of 1.6 grams of sugar

    Step 3: Calculate the total mass

    Total mass = mass of empty flask + mass of sugar

    Total mass = 330 grams + 1.6 grams sugar

    Total mass = 331.6 grams

    The total mass of the flask with the sugar should be 331.6 grams

    When we have this on the balance we have 1.6 grams of sugar in the flask.

    total weight to expect = 331.60 grams

    Explanation:

    The flask wanted to be charged with 1.6 grams of sugar. The empty flask was weighed on a balance and it was determined to weigh 330 grams. The weight we would expect when we add the sugar can be computed as follows:

    weight of the empty flask = 330 grams

    weight of the sugar = 1.6 grams

    The weight of the flask after adding the sugar will be the sum of the weight of the sugar and the empty falsk

    Therefore,

    Total weight to expect = 330 grams + 1.6 grams

    total weight to expect = 331.60 grams
