Why is honey more dense than corn syrup?

Answer 1

Seriously?

I mean like for real, is this a joke?

Of course it's denser, just think about it, you can swish your hand around in one the other is dense goopy liquid.

No disrespect.

Answer 2

Because water can dissolve sugars without the volume increasing. So if you have one cup of water, you can add sugar, salt, or corn syrup solids into it and they will dissolve; but it will still only be one cup, unless you add a lot. Note before it dissolves it will increase the volume.

Experiment: fill up a 2 cup measure with water, add salt stir, add more stir, and in the end you'll see that if it all dissolves you will still have exactly one cup, but it will weight more because there is more in there: thus it is more dense.

Answer 3

According to Wolfram|Alpha, the density of honey is 1.4 g/mL and the density of corn syrup is 1.5 g/mL.

Answer 4

Ima goes with maybe. Yes, milk is dense but so is corn syrup. So, uh, no?

Answer 5

density = mass/ volume

Answer 6

because it is more hard
