Answer:

3.902 grams is the mass of the teaspoon of the sucrose.

Explanation:

Calories in 1 teaspoon of carbohydrate sucrose = 16 calorie

The average number of calories for the carbohydrates is 4.1 Calories/g

Then number of grams in 1 calorie = $\frac{1}{4.1} g$

Mass of 16 calories:

$16 caloire=16\times \frac{1}{4.1 }g=3.902 g$

3.902 grams is the mass of the teaspoon of the sucrose.
