2 tablespoons butter = 1 ounce = 28.5 grams
1/2 cup = 1 stick = 8 tablespoons = 4 ounces = 1/4 pound = 113.5 grams
1 cup = 2 sticks = 8 ounces = 227 grams
2 cups = 4 sticks = 18 ounces = 454 grams
The weight of a cup or a spoon of a dry ingredient will depend on the ingredient. See below much a cup of sugar and flour weigh.

Small - 42.5gr 1.5oz
Pewee - 35.4gr 1.25oz
CHICKPEAS:

1/2 cup dried is 3.5 oz or 100 grams

1 can of chickpeas is 250 grams without liquid and 400 grams with liquid
cooking time - with soaking overnight 1 1/2 to 2 hours

NOTE:
In culinary the best recipes are the ones that use 'weight' instead of cups and spoons. It is a more precise way of measuring the ingredients. However most recipes nowadays use cups and spoons as their way of measuring the ingredients.
