1 ounce = 28.34 grams

Grams would be “powder” - all powder substances weigh differently.

For example... if you were weigh 30 grams of flour and 30 grams of sugar... It would take more flour to get 30 grams that it would sugar - because sugar weighs more than flour.

Kinda like the trick question what weighs more?
1 ton of feathers or 1 ton of lead

(how baskets full of feathers would it take to make 1 ton and how many baskets full of lead would it take to make 1 ton)

A teaspoon is 5ml.
Chloral hydrate is 500mg/ 5ml or
1 gram/10ml.

500mg/5ml x6 = 30ml = 3 grams.
