Is maple syrup denser than water?

Yes, maple syrup is denser than water. The density of maple syrup typically ranges from about 1.3 to 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter at room temperature. This higher density is due to the concentration of sugars and other solids in the syrup. As a result, maple syrup will sink in water if poured into it.
