Mass is just the quantity of matter in the marshmallow, so you just need weigh it.
If you wanted its density, then you must also determine the volume.
The simplest way would be to slice off the irregular sides of the marshmallow to make some simple shape, and thus measure the (e.g. simple cube) volume of the sample. There will be a small error, because the original edges of the sweet would be different from the remainder.
Otherwise, determine the volume by immersing the marshmallow in a non-wetting fluid, and determine the volume in the Archimedes manner.
I'm not sure what a good non-wetting liquid would be. Mercury suggests itself, but that is a dangerous fluid. Perhaps a 'seething' liquid such as Lycopodium Powder would do, or any powder with a low density. A few ounces grams of small glass beads might be worth a try?

Will a marble and marshmallow have same buoyancy?
Depends on the marshmallow and the marble... a 2g marble will have the same mass as a 2g marshmallow........
How do you calculate a mass of am atom?
To calculate the atomic mass of an element, add up the mass of protons and nuetrons.
Is the volume of the unknown mass needed to calculate the mass of calcium oxide?
No. you will know the volume of the unknown mass after you calculate the mass of ca0
What would change if you smashed a marshmallow mass volume or density?
Marshmallows vary in density. They are not a pure substance. As they contain air bubbles their density can be altered merely by squeezing them as can their volume but their mass would be the same even if smashed into pieces. The marshmallow's physical dimensions would change.
How many grams are in 1 mini marshmallow?
Different manufacturer's marshmallows will be of different mass so there is no simple answer. If you want the answer you will have to do some work:Get an unopened packet of marshmallows. The net mass should be given on the packet. Suppose that is g grams. Next open the packet and count the number of marshmallows in the packet. Suppose that number is n.Then the mass of each marshmallow, on average, is g/n grams.Having done ALL that hard work, you deserve a marshmallow - or two!
How do you calculate the atomic mass of carbon?
The same way you calculate the atomic mass of other elements.
Calculate the Mass of Sn in the tin oxide product?

How do you calculate the atomic mass of bromine?
To calculate the atomic mass of any element, add the no. of protons and neutrons. There sum will be the atomic mass. The mass of electrons is not counted towards the atomic mass.
How do you calculate the mass of the atom?
Protons and neutrons= mass
How to calculate mass with volume and molarity?
Not enough information. To calculate mass, you would need volume and density (mass = volume x density).
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

Calculate Mass of cell?
To calculate the mass of the cell you will need to know the mass and atomic number of the element. Multiply the number of atoms by the amount of grams per mole to get the mass.
