should add 3tsp salt/1 cup olives. accidentally added 6 tsp. Each tsp weighs 5 grams and has 2300 mg sodium. how much sodium was added?

To determine how much sodium was added, we need to calculate the total amount of sodium in the extra salt you added. Let's break it down step by step:

1. Calculate the total amount of extra salt added: 6 tsp - 3 tsp = 3 tsp
You added 3 tsp more than required.

2. Convert the total extra salt into grams: 3 tsp * 5 grams = 15 grams
Each teaspoon weighs 5 grams.

3. Calculate the total amount of sodium in the extra salt: 15 grams * 2300 mg sodium/gram = 34,500 mg
Each gram of salt has 2300 mg sodium.

Therefore, you accidentally added 34,500 mg of sodium to the olives.
