If I add 6 pints of water to 2 pints of honey and mix thoroughly is the resulting volume precisely 1 gallon or is it significantly less? In other words, does honey behave at all like say dextrose or sucrose or salt when if you take a volume of those items and add that volume to water the spaces in the molecules of water take up some of the molecules of the additives?
Please note, that I am not asking if I add a known volume(X) of honey to a known volume (Y) of water the total will be close enough to X+Y for our purposes. I am asking if the volume will be X+Y or less.
