The artificial sweetener used in diet coke is hundreds of times sweeter per unit volume than regular sugar.
Diet coke sink or float. Does an object float on water or sink in the water. Put both cans into a large container of water to observe the behavior of each in water. Well my husband reminded me that we use to entertain our masses with the magic of the floating diet coke.
My son is a huge science buff. Why do diet soft drinks float and regular soft drinks sink. Many science teachers perform a demonstration in which they immerse sealed cans of coke and diet coke in a tank of water.
This is because coke is a denser fluid t. But diet coke cans float and regular coke cans sink. In regular coke more sugar is used as a sweetener also makes it more dense than water and the more dense the substance it is the more likely to sink.
If you like thinking things through perhaps pause here and noodle on this one. The diet coke can floated to the top while the regular coke sat on the bottom. April 12 2012 by kate 1 comment.
Coke and diet coke cans have the same amount of liquid in them. Look at the graphic on the right. Calculate the density in g ml of diet coke if a 355 ml can weighs 355 1 g.
Some instructors have adapted this demonstration as an experiment to teach students the principles of density and buoyancy. The can of coke immediately sinks while the can of diet coke floats. So naturally when i mentioned this density and buoyancy experiment or demonstration his interest was piqued.
