An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid. The density is the mass divide by the volume.

the density of water is recorded at 1.0. Anything above that will sink, below will float. Diet Coke is recorded at roughly .98 while coke itself is around 1.2

Diet drinks are less dense. Most artificial sweeteners are much "sweeter" than sugar, so that you can use a lot less of them. The extra sugars in regular soft drinks increase the density.

Do cans float?

The Diet Coke can floats because the sugar they put in regular Coke has been substituted by a lighter (less dense) substance (a healthier type of sweetness). The sugar is much denser that the artificial sweetener, so the Coke sinks and the Diet Coke floats.


Why is regular Coke more dense than Diet Coke?

coke is heavier than diet coke because of the corn syrup. Corn syrup is much heavier than the artificial sweeteners in Diet Coke. Also, because artificial sweeteners are 200 times sweeter than sugar, less of it can be used, making diet coke lighter. DIET COKE IS VERY BAD FOR YOU THOUGH; YOU WOULD BE MUCH BETTER OFF DRINKING A REGULAR COKE. DIET COKE DOES NOT HELP WEIGHT PROBLEMS EITHER, JUST DRINK WATER.

Does coke or diet coke float?

Diet coke floats because Floating occurs because floating objects displace, or push aside, a certain amount of liquid. If an object displaces more than its weight in liquid, it floats; otherwise it sinks. Density (the mass per unit of volume) determines how much liquid is displaced. Density is usually compared to water, which is assigned a density of 1. Materials sink if (like regular Coke) they are more dense than water, while less-dense materials, like Diet Coke, float.


Why does Diet Coke sink and regular not?

it is actually the other way around diet coke sinks because it is less dense than water and regular is more dence so it sinks


Why does the Diet Coke float in water while the Regular coke sinks?

The Diet Coke will float because it is less dense than water and the regular coke will sink because it is more dense than water.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.Aspartame and Saccharin are artificial sweeteners found in diet coke. They are at least 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Therefore, a smaller amount of sweetener is used to sweeten the diet coke.Density is the amount of mass in a volume (mass/volume).Any substance that is less dense than water is likely to floatAny substance that is more dense than water is likely to sink.
