The measurements obtained from the pipette and the graduated cylinder demonstrated that coke is denser than diet coke while diet coke was shown to be denser than coke using the burette. Fluid onces or 355 ml. With the pipette the average density of coke is 1 02 and the average density of diet coke is 0 99.

Both cans say 12 fl. Coke and diet coke both have a volume of 200ml but for sure they both have a different density. The students should know that this indicates that the can diet coke is less dense than water while the can of regular coke is more dense.

The density of each solution can be determined by taking the weight and the volume. Each can of regular coke currently on hand has a mass of about 384 g. The can of diet coke shown above has a mass of about 370 g as does a second spare can.

This video introduces the concept of density. Its overall density is 370 g 380 cm 3 or 0 97 g cm 3. This 3 difference in density as compared to that of water is enough to allow the can to float as in the photograph above.

We can see the effect of density if we compare regular coke vs diet coke. Guide the students to realize that given the formula for density p m v this means that the diet coke can contains less mass than the regular coke can since both cans are of equal volume. To list similarities of given objects to list differences of given objects to brainstorm and find a solution as to why diet coke floats and coke sinks to define the term density to see how much sugar we consume drinking one can of soda materials.
