The question is unanswerable. A gram is a unit of mass, and a teaspoon is a unit of volume. That's like asking "how many feet are in a pound?"


That said, the definition of a "gram" is the mass of one cubic centimeter (cc) or one milliliter (ml)) of water at sea level, with certain assumptions about air pressure and temperature. What it boils down to is, over a fairly wide range of conditions, the mass of water in grams is, essentially, EQUAL to its volume in cc's or ml's. It is also true that, for liquids that have densities close to that of water, especially those that are solutions with a water base, one gram is still pretty close to one cc or one ml.


So, with the assumption that the substance being measured is a liquid that is fairly close to water in density, it takes ABOUT 5 grams to make a teaspoon.
