How Much Is 5.04 Grams of Baking Soda in Tablespoons?
Converting 5.04 grams of baking soda to tablespoons gives 0.37 tbsp. Divide by the density of baking soda (220g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.04 grams of baking soda
- 1 cup of baking soda = 220g
- 5.04g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.02 cups × 16 = 0.37 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
