One US cup of powdered or confectioner's sugar, lightly spooned, weighs 4 ounces or 115 grams.
One US cup of light brown sugar, packed, weighs 7.66 ounces or 217 grams.
One US cup of dark brown sugar, packed, weighs 8.4 ounces or 239 grams.
Note that a "cup", as a volume measure, is not the same all over the world. For example, a US cup is 236.6 ml while a UK cup is 284.13 ml and a Canada cup is 227.3 ml.
AnswerActually, you want to be careful when converting volume to weight because the standards
(1C=8oz; 2 Cups = 1 pound = 16 oz) only holds true when you're weighing liquids with the same approximate density of water. Hence, you could measure cream or milk this way, but if you try to measure flour this way, you're going to get a dry product. For example, a sifted cup of all purpose flour weighs not 8 oz, but but closer to 4.25 oz. A cup of sugar doesn't weigh 8 oz either, it's closer to 7 oz (put in 8 oz of sugar and it could throw off the texture of your baked good). There are a couple of good conversion websites out there. I like
Traditional Oven and Sweet Napa.
Good luck!

Sugar is heavier than flour, so the same volume weights differently.
A gram is a unit of weight, and a cup is a unit of volume (a cup of sugar will not weigh the same as a cup of water). 30 g = 1.05821 oz by weight. Granulated sugar weighs about 4.2 grams per tsp, so 30 grams would be just over 7 tsp. of sugar.
Yes both will weight the same. Because the sugar merrily dissolves in the tea.
Regardless of what is being measured, 8 oz is equal to 1 cup. True, if it's fluid ounces. If ounces are weight, it's not the same - a cup of lead and a cup of sugar can't both weigh 8 oz. This is yet another problem with using these archaic measurements rather than metric. So first determine whether the 8 oz means volume (then it's a cup) or weight (use a kitchen scale).
One cup of sugar is about 8 ounces. A cup is generally used to measure liquids. A dry scale would work better to measure sugar.

I'm assuming that you meant substitute. To substitute white sugar for brown the formula is as follows: to replace one cup light brown sugar- mix one cup granulated sugar and one Tablespoon molasses. To substitute one cup dark brown sugar- mix one cup granulated sugar and two tablespoons molasses.

One cup of granulated sugar measured in a liquid Pyrex cup is the same as 1 cup of sugar measured in a dry measuring cup. However, if you are talking about how much liquid sugar equates to 1 cup of granulated sugar then the rule is about 1 1/4 cups.
10 grams of sugar is only 2 teaspoons, - 1/24 th of a cup
Approximately 8 oz sugar in 1 cup.
