Calculating sodium

So I got the spice sumac the other day and I put about two tablespoons of it onto my salad it was delicious; I thought it was just the spice but turns out they add salt to preserve it. Per 100 grams =2730 mg of sodium, how much sodium would that be for 2 tablespoons of it? It's a ground spice, I'm really stressing over this because I need to be low sodium in my diet, so how do I calculate the sodium I have based on the info I know?

It's hard to tell because a tablespoon is a measurement of volume rather than weight0

I know that 1 tablespoon =3g haha I feel like a math textbook problem, never thought I'd need it!0

So 1 Tbsp. sumac spice = 3g, and 100g of sumac spice contains 2730mg sodium.
You used 2 Tbsp. or 6g.
6g sumac spice x (2730mg sodium / 100g sumac spice) = 163.8mg sodium0
