Question

Suppose we want to charge a flask with 3.5 g of sugar. We put the empty flask on a balance and it is determined to weigh 190 g. Enter the weight we would expect to see on the balance when we're done adding the sugar.

Answer 1

The expected weight on the balance after adding 3.5 g of sugar to an empty flask that weighs 190 g would be 193.5 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the weight we would expect to see on the balance after adding 3.5 g of sugar to an empty flask that weighs 190 g, we simply add the mass of the empty flask to the mass of the sugar. This is a straightforward application of addition in mass measurements. Since the least number of decimal places in the given values is zero (the flask's weight is an integer), no rounding is necessary, and the resulting mass is simply the sum of the two values.

The combined mass will be:

190 g (mass of the flask) + 3.5 g (mass of the sugar) = 193.5 g

Therefore, the expected weight on the balance after adding the sugar would be 193.5 grams.

Answer 2

Answer : The total weight of flask when we are adding the sugar is, 193.5 grams

Explanation : Given,

Weight of sugar = 3.5 grams

Weight of empty flask = 190 grams

Now we have to determine the total weight of flask when we are adding the sugar.

Total weight of flask = Weight of empty flask + Weight of sugar

Total weight of flask = 190 grams + 3.5 grams

Total weight of flask = 193.5 grams

Thus, the total weight of flask when we are adding the sugar is, 193.5 grams
