How many grams are in one cup? |
It depends on what you are measuring
Depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.
Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in grams of the material will vary. For example, if you fill the cup with lead, the cup will weigh much more than if you fill with feathers.
This question would be similar to asking how much does a 6 foot person weight. It depends on the person of course. A cup of water will weigh more than a cup of flour.
For cooking, you can find tables that convert cups to grams and vice versa for a variety of food. To the left is a link with a table for standard cooking ingredients. Make sure you look carefully and scroll down to find the correct conversion table specific ingredient you are using! The conversion is different for each ingredient!
Here are A FEW COMMON FOODS and their conversion from cups to grams (notice how much the weight varies!):
Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams
Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed = 220 grams
Sifted white flour: 1 cup = 125 grams
White rice, uncooked: 1 cup = 185 grams
White rice, cooked: 1 cup = 175 grams
Butter: 1 cup = 227 grams
Almonds, slivered: 1 cup = 108 grams
Oil: 1 cup = 224 grams
Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams
Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams
Broccoli, flowerets: 1 cup = 71 grams
Raisins: 1 cup, packed = 165 grams
Milk, dry: 1 cup = 68 grams
Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams
Water: 1 cup = 236 grams
Confectioners sugar: 1 C = 110 g
Cocoa: 1 C = 125 g

Answer
It all depends on the size of the cup and the density of the ingredient.
Answer
Sorry, but the question needs to be more specific. Grams that would equal a cup measure,pertaining to something such as flour, would not measure the same as salt, butter, etc.
Answer
In that we're in a discussion of volume - cups and fluid ounces, you've asked a difficult question.
If you're measuring water, the one ounce is equal to 29.57353 ml, so 40 oz would be 1.183 liters. Since water weighs 1 gram per ml, or 1 kg per liter, then you'll have 1.183 kg, or 1,183 grams.
If, on the other hand, you are measuring anything else - oil, milk, flour, etc. then you need to have one more peice of information before you can swittch from volume to weight. You must know the specific gravity of the substance. An ounce of oil, for example, weighs less than an ounce of water. (that's why oil floats on water.)
Answer
A gram measures weight and a cup measures volume. This question would be similar to asking how much does a 5foot 5 person weight. Depends on the person. A cup of water will weigh more than a cup of flour.
nope.
Gram is a measurement of mass, and a cup is a measurement of volume. I could find no way to convert gram in cup.
How much does a cup of grams weigh?
A cup of what? A cup is a measure of liquid volume, equivilant to approximately 250 cubic centimeters. (cc's) One cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram at one degree Celsius. One cubic centimeter of gasoline weighs somewhat less, and one cubic centimeter of lead weights considerably more. So a cup of water would weigh about 250 grams, but a cup of gasoline would weigh less, and a cup of lead would weigh more.
cup is...
200 grams = one cup
Okay, one cup equals 236 cubic centimeters. However, a cup of milk will weigh a different number of grams than a cup of cod liver oil. But to cut to the quick, asking how many grams in a cup is like asking how many pounds in a gallon. You are using two entirely different types of measurement, one of weight, the other of volume, to ask the question. A given volume of space filled with two different types of materials will have two different weights. Also, remember that in the lame-brained English system of measurement, a fluid ounce and a dry ounce mean two different things.
cup is...v.1
1 cup = 240 ml = 8 fl oz = 1/2 pint (liq) = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp, all measurements regarding kitchen and cooking are standard and do not vary depending on the material.
To answer you cuestion 240ml = 240cc = 240gr, what a wonderful system the french invented, vive la France :p
CORRECT ANSWER
gramm is a weight measure. therefore one would use the dry cup so to make it simple 1 cup = 8 ozs covert ounces to gramms 84 gramms = i cup
