The short answer: 19 ounces comes to 538.6409394 g. That is 19 multiplied by 28.34952313, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
538.641 g is 19 oz. In the kitchen that is about 4.31 US cups of plain flour at 125 g per cup, 2.69 cups of granulated sugar at 200 g, or 538.641 ml of water — because a millilitre of water weighs a gram, which is the only reason weight and volume line up at all here.
The result sits 11.36 g short of 550 g, so if you need a round figure to quote, 550 g is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 28 instead of using the exact factor 28.34952313. At 19 that shortcut gives 532 grams, off by 6.641 grams or about 1.23%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
