Tate Barton · Answer 1

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

Hays · Answer 2

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.
