Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 159.47 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda = 4.58g
- 159.47 × 4.58 = 730.90g
- Convert grams to ounces: 730.90 ÷ 28.3495 = 25.78 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh baking soda rather than relying on volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
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.
