Calculate the Density of a Honey-Water Solution

Honey (pounds)
Water (gallons)

Your solution has grams of honey in it, a total volume of liters, grams of honey per liter of solution, and a specific gravity of .
1. Honey has a density of about 1.42 grams per cubic centimeter.
2. A fluid ounce contains 29.5735296 cubic centimeters.
3. But the ounces on the side of a jar of commercial honey are ounces by weight (avoirdupois).
4. An ounce by weight (avoirdupois) corresponds to 28.3495267 grams.
5. There are 453.5924 grams in a pound, and a pound is 16 ounces by weight (avoirdupois).
6. There are 3.7854118 liters in a gallon, and a gallon is 128 fluid ounces or 231 cubic inches. 7. Each ounce by weight of fruit or fluid ounce of juice will increase the specific gravity of a honey-water must by about +0.001 divided by the must volume in gallons after the additions are made.
