Suppose we want to charge a flask with 1.9 g of sugar. We put the empty flask on a balance and it is determined to weigh 450 g. Enter the weight we would expect to see on the balance when we're done adding the sugar.

Answer: 451.9g

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of empty flask= 450g

Weight of sugar= 1.9g

Weight of sugar+flask=450+1.9=451.9g

The sum of the massed of both the sugar and the flask is the mass the balance will read after the addition of the sugar.
