This study presents a comparative analysis of how sucrose (C

) concentration affects aqueous solution density, interpreting the data through biochemical and physical‑chemical mechanisms (hydration, hydrogen‑bond network rearrangement, osmotic effects); a direct correlation between sucrose concentration and density was confirmed, with the maximum density increase (1.280 g/cm³) observed at a 44.4 % mass fraction, reflecting solution structure compaction due to intermolecular interactions, and supporting the use of the areometric method for rapid carbohydrate concentratio...
