How do I measure 25 grams of SN without any weighing equipment

[Jay Kay]

Is 25ML the same as 25g? I'm planning on getting measuring spoons that have ML labels on them.
Thanks.

1.4 tablespoons should be around 25grams

How much do I fill up the tablespoon? Should there be a heap of powder? or should I level it out?

If it were me, I'd level the tablespoon out.

The density of salt is about 2.17 gram/cm3, the density of SN is about 2.16 gram/cm3, roughly the same. So in theory you can buy a 1 gram spoon for salt（I noticed due to Imperial/Metric system, if you are in US, there is probably a different kind of product?)and one spoon of SN is slightly less than 1gram. But in practice since SN easily absorb water vapor, this method can be inaccurate. A kitchen scale is probably better.

I have a scale but no measuring spoon... Maybe I'll go out and get measuring spoons and find out.

I'd reccomend you don't rely on inaccurate measures such as a spoonful. Spoons of the same type are often a different size. Don't cheap out on something so crucial - get it right.

If it were me I'd just go up to the Dollar Store and buy a set of measuring cups for a $1.00. There is an actual teaspoon and tablespoon measuring cup in the set. It may make no difference at all, and maybe silverware is close enough. IDK. But, what I do know is that a silverware teaspoon ≠ measuring cup teaspoon, and a silverware tablespoon ≠ measuring cup tablespoon.

What . No one spoon itself weights abt 1.4gr not 24 grs. ?????? One spoon filled full with SN is prob close enough for 24grs.

A scale is about $12.

I mean there is such a product can be translated into "one gram spoon for salt" in my country,it was very small and was designed in the way that you filled it with salt,
you get a gram of salt. I did mention I think there might be a different product in US due to Imperial/Metric system, apologize for any misguidance I might have brought.
And since the densities of salt and SN are very close, so in theory the same volume of them would weight the same, this is my basic idea.

I think it is best you buy a scale to measeure out the SN and buy a jug to measure out the water.

If you do not want to do this it then the following chart shows that 25g is around 1.4 tablespoons or 4.1 teaspoons. If you measure it roughly it should be OK, but make sure you take enough according to your bodyweight.
