Smooth and chunky peanut butter both weigh 258 g a cup in USDA's data. Weigh it if you can: it is sticky and never levels off evenly in a cup.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Peanut Butter, smooth (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)” at 258 g (FDC ID 174294, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
