How many milligrams are in a teaspoon of salt?

Answer 1

combination of sodium and chloride, has 2,325 milligrams (mg) of sodium

Answer 2

Using a density of 1.2 g/cc for standard table salt, since a teaspoon will hold 4.93 cc, one teaspoon contains 1.2 x 4.93 = 5.916 grams of salt, or 5,916 mg of salt per teaspoon. Note that the density of pure sodium chloride is higher (2.16 g/cc), but in the real world table salt comes in small crystals with air in between the crystals, so the weight per teaspoon is less.

However, the sodium content is different. The atomic weight of sodium is 23, and the atomic weight of table salt (sodium chloride, or NaCl) is 58.4, so the sodium content of a teaspoon of salt is (23/58.4) x 5,916 = 2,330 mg per teaspoon.
1 teaspoon is 5gm. It is also 5,000 mg.

Answer 3

Although this assumes much, we will use the typical sodium chloride as our salt. A teaspoon is 5mL; NaCl has a density of 2.16g/mL. This means that there are 10.8g in one teaspoon. Since only 35.5/58.4 of the mass is chlorine, there is 6.57g of chlorine in the teaspoon which equals 6570mg.
