Title: Oxalic conversion 1.5 - grams = ? tbl spoons ?
Post by: malabarchillin on February 02, 2008, 01:14:52 PM
I have googled a lot and can not find a conversion for 1.5 to 2 grams of Oxalic acid xtals to table or teaspoons ? I do not have a small scale. Has anyone found  or measured this here before ? 1 pound = 454 grams so it can not be easliy divided that way :)   
Thanks
Mike

1.5 g = 1/2 tsp

It depends on how heavy Oxalic acid is vs. the volume it takes up.
The photos I have seen of oxalic evaporators looks like a lot more than a
1/2 tsp, but I could be wrong. Any input from those that have done it ?

No need to over complicate it. 1.5g of oxalic acid put in a cup on a digital scale then put the material in a measure. simple useful conversion.

Perhaps I misunderstood you before. I do not have a small scale or I would not
have posted. Are you saying that you have measured oxalic before and it equaled
1/2 tsp ?  For example baking soda is 4.6 grams per teaspoon and powder sugar is 2.5 grams per teaspoon.

Yes I have a scale and I measured it for you myself. It is a very good expensive digital scale I use at my shop.

Thanks very much for your replies. The spoon that comes with the electric vaporizers must be pretty small. You have been a big help.
