How much liquid will a teaspoon hold?

Answer 1

Approximately 6 grams.

Remember "salt" or "table salt" is composed of sodium and chloride ions.

If you are asking how much sodium is in a teaspoon of table salt, the estimation is 2400 milligrams.

This is the substance to "count" or watch if you are limiting your salt intake for health purposes.

The recommended daily intake of sodium is 2500 milligrams for healthy adults.

Most of our over-intake of sodium comes from packaged foods. Soup, packaged meals, cottage cheese, etc are relatively high in sodium. Chips and other packaged snacks are usually pretty high in sodium too.

Read the labels carefully!

Just a side note: 6 grams of table salt is enough to kill you!

_____

I weighed 1.0 teaspoon of granular table salt several times in grams -- one level household measuring teaspoon -- years ago using an university electronic lab scale. I got the following:

1.0 tsp salt = 6.375 g

Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl).

The atomic weight of Sodium (Na) = 22.99

The atomic weight of Chlorine (Cl) = 35.45

Sodium accounts for 39.3 % of the weight of sodium chloride.

I encourage you to verify the weight of one level teaspoon of sodium chloride for yourselves.

Answer 2

In the United States, liquid measurement is not only used for liquids such as water and milk, it is also used when measuring other ingredients such as flour, sugar, shortening, butter, and spices. teaspoontablespoonfluid

Dry Measurements

Dry measurements are not typically used in U.S. recipes; dry measurements are used mainly for measuring fresh produce (e.g. berries are sold by the quart, apples by the bushel, or peck).Do not confuse dry measure with liquid measure, because they are not the same.

Weight

The two most commonly used units of weight (or mass) measurement for cooking in the U.S. are the ounce and the pound. Do not confuse the ounce of weight with the fluid ounce, because they are not the same; there is no standard conversion between weight and volume unless you know the density of the ingredient. To make matters worse, there are different kinds of weight measurement; Avoirdupois weight, Troy weight, and Apothecaries weight. In the U.S., when someone refers to pounds and ounces of weight (especially in cooking) they are usually referring to Avoirdupois weight.
