Note on Density Variation

Liquid density is not a fixed property; it varies primarily with temperature and composition. For most pure liquids, density decreases as temperature increases due to thermal expansion. For solutions (like brine, acids, or alcohol-water mixtures), density depends directly on concentration. The values provided are for reference under the specified conditions.
