About
Water is the standard liquid reference for density, weighing about 8.36 ounces (237 g) per US cup.
Water has a density of about 8.34 pounds per gallon (1 g/mL), serving as the standard baseline for measuring liquid weight. Common cooking oils are less dense and float on top of it, while thicker liquids like pure maple syrup sink to the bottom. A standard volume of 1 quart (0.95 L) weighs just over 2 pounds (0.95 kg). It is also much heavier by volume than dry kitchen goods like flour, which contain a lot of trapped air.
From Wikipedia
Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance.
