2.5 pints of molasses weighs 1,700.00 g. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because pints measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2.5 pints.

Formula and Step-by-Step
pints × 680g/pt = grams
Start with 2.5 pints of molasses
1 pint of molasses = 680g
2.5 × 680 = 1,700g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Molasses at Different Amounts
How molasses scales across common pints measurements. Your amount (2.5 pints) is highlighted.
For reference, 2.5 pints of molasses (1,700g) is close in weight to a laptop (1,500g).
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
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.
About 1,700.00 g, based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 680 (grams per pint for molasses). For 2.5 pints: 2.5 × 680 = 1,700.00 g.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of molasses changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
