Coke Vs Diet Coke Density
A simple density demonstration involving coke and diet coke.
Coke vs diet coke density. Fluid onces or 355 ml. Both cans say 12 fl. Coke vs diet coke by e s.
Density is defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative heaviness of objects with a constant volume. With the pipette the average density of coke is 1 02 and the average density of diet coke is 0 99. You will find out what happens.
Floating and sinking soda density demonstration bond with james and subscribe for more science. The exact ratio cannot be found and this is the approximate value for the density of the coke. Its overall density is 370 g 380 cm 3 or 0 97 g cm 3.
We can see the effect of density if we compare regular coke vs diet coke. Each can of regular coke currently on hand has a mass of about 384 g. Coke and diet coke both have a volume of 200ml but for sure they both have a different density.
This 3 difference in density as compared to that of water is enough to allow the can to float as in the photograph above. The coke can and the other cola can contain much more sugar which adds to the weight and therefore they sink in the tank. The diet coke can contains very little sugar and therefore it floats.
This video introduces the concept of density. We discussed the results in terms of mass volume and density. What is better coke or diet.
