Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.84 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda = 4.58g
- 2.84 × 4.58 = 13.02g
- Convert grams to ounces: 13.02 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.46 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?
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?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
