Sugar Water Density Table

The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service has compiled sugar (brown) and water syrup density values in 285 units of density, presented in a matrix format. The density is calculated by dividing the weight by the volume, with sugar (brown) and water syrup density values grouped by weight and shown as a value of density per unit.

To understand the concept better, let's conduct an experiment known as the Sugar Rainbow Density Experiment. Start by creating a rainbow-colored mixture using three cups and food coloring. Add 3 ounces of hot water to each cup, and then add one sugar cube (equal to 1 tsp or about 4 grams) to each cup.

Next, prepare a straw by capping it firmly with your thumb and lifting it out of the water. Then, quickly dip the lower end of the straw into plain water, approximately 1 inch (3 cm) deep. This will create a gradient effect on the surface of the water due to differences in density between sugar and water.

Here's a table showing various foods with their corresponding sugar content:

| Food | Sugar Content |

| --- | --- |

| MEIJER SUGAR FREE INSTANT OATMEAL, MAPLE BROWN SUGAR | 357 calories per 100 grams |

| INSTANT SUGAR FREE OATMEAL, MAPLE and BROWN SUGAR | 357 calories per 100 grams |

| BROWN SUGAR HEARTY BLEND OF ROLLED AND STEEL CUT OATS MIXED WITH GREEK YOGURT AND BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL BOWL | 119 calories per 100 grams |

| PLAIN, POWDERED SUGAR, CINNAMON SUGAR ASSORTED DONUT HOLES | 411 calories per 100 grams |

| FROSTED MIX, SPARKLING ICE SUGAR CRYSTALS, PRINCESS PEARL SUGAR BEADS, SNOWDRIFT JIMMIES, ARCTIC FROST SUGAR, FROSTED FLURRIES CONFETTI, GLACIER BLUE SUGAR | 500 calories per 100 grams |

| Sugar (brown) and water syrup | 256 grams per metric cup or 8.5 ounces per US cup, contain(s) 309 calories per 100 grams |

In conclusion, the sugar water density table provides valuable information on the density of various sugar products, which is essential in understanding the concept of density and its applications in everyday life. By conducting experiments like the Sugar Rainbow Density Experiment, we can visually demonstrate the differences in density between sugar and water, making it easier to grasp this complex scientific concept.
