How many mg in a teaspoon?

Answer 1

It depends on the density of the substance but a typical teaspoon of approximately 5ml capacity will hold 5g or 5000mg of water.

mg is a measure of mass, and tsp is a measure of volume. The answer will vary based on the density of the substance.

Answer 2

It depends what you are measuring, since a mgs is a weight, whereas a teaspoon is a volume measure. For example, a milligram polystyrene packaging will take up more of a teaspoon than a milligram of lead will.

Answer 3

The answer attempts to convert a unit measurement of volume (teaspoon) into a unit measurement of mass (or less precisely, weight). Therefore, without knowing the constant, one cannot do that. The constant in this case will be the density of the material. The density is the mass per unit volume, and is the value that will allow one to tie together the two dissimilar units - teaspoons and mg. The density of materials differ, and therefore, the conversion of a teaspoon to a mg (or vice versa) will be different for each material being discussed.

Answer 4

A standard teaspoon holds approximately 5 milliliters of liquid. The weight of a teaspoon of a substance in milligrams would depend on the substance's density.
