Concentration Units

wt% (Mass%): Mass of solute / total mass of solution × 100%

mol/kg (Molality): Moles of solute / kg of water

mol/liter (Molarity): Moles of solute / liter of solution

Key Notes

  • All density values are measured at 20°C
  • Data includes sugars (fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, mannitol, sucrose), alcohols (ethanol, methanol, propanol, ethanediol, glycerol), and other organic substances (acetone, urea)
  • Missing values (—) indicate data not available
  • Conversion tables for mol/kg and mol/liter concentration units are provided in the complete dataset
