Convert teaspoon to liter

Learn how to convert 1 teaspoon to liter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t e a s p o o n) = x (l i t e r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (t e a s p o o n) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (l i t e r) = 10^{- 3} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 3} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t e a s p o o n) = x (l i t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 10^{- 3} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} = x \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.91938802083333 \times {10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 3}} = x \times 10^{- 3}

Simplify

5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3} = x

Switch sides

x = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.005919388 \approx 5.9194 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t e a s p o o n) \approx 5.9194 \times 10^{- 3} (l i t e r)
