grams of salt to teaspoons
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

What you're doing here is converting between weight and volume. The bridge between these two units is density - How much does a certain volume of something weigh. This is further complicated by the fact that some things, salt being one of them, have air gaps between the particles. For that reason, the 'real-life' density of something may be less than the density of a solid block of it. This 'real life' measurement is commonly called bulk density.
Salt has a bulk density of 1.154 grams per cubic centimeter. That means that two grams of it would be a volume of 1.7 cubic centimeters.
Next, we need to convert 1.7 ccs to teaspoons. There are 4.929 ccs per teaspoon, so 1.7 cc would be 0.345 teaspoons or about a third of a teaspoon.
