How Much Is 116 Teaspoons of Baking Soda in Ounces?
116 teaspoons of baking soda weighs 18.75 oz. This is based on baking soda having a density of 220g 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 116 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 116 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda = 4.58g
- 116 × 4.58 = 531.67g
- Convert grams to ounces: 531.67 ÷ 28.3495 = 18.75 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking soda can clump or settle during storage. Stir or sift before measuring by volume for consistent results.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
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.
