what affects density of a solution???

Question: other than the sugar concentration...is there any other element like coloring or flavoring that could affect it somehow?

Answer: The density of a solution is affected, well... technically speaking ...and by itself, by temperature and pressure. However, assuming that both the Temp and Press remain constant, the density of a solution can and cannot be affected by say solution B. It actually depends on the density of solution B. If it is more dense than the original solution (in which case say solution A) then the density increases but if solution B is less dense than solution A then the resulting solution is less dense than solution A. If the density of both solutions A & B are the same the density remains the same. Of course, how much the density changes depends on the volume of solution B. So, if small quantities of solution B is added to A then the density wont change that much, still there will be some change.
