Density of Common Bases

The density of a base depends on its specific chemical composition and physical state. The following table provides a comprehensive list of density values for pure bases at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
