How Much Is 117 Teaspoons of Baking Powder in Ounces?
117 teaspoons of baking powder weighs 19.78 oz. This is based on baking powder having a density of 230g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 117 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 117 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder = 4.79g
- 117 × 4.79 = 560.63g
- Convert grams to ounces: 560.63 ÷ 28.3495 = 19.78 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder can clump or settle during storage. Stir or sift before measuring by volume for consistent results.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
