How many grams of CO2 is in coke?

Answer 1

That depends on how much coke you have. However, if you know the volume of your can and the mass density of coke, you can calculate the mass on your own.

Regular coke contains 11 grams of sugar per 100mL, and the rest is primarily water. It also contains various artificial additives, but the amount is so low that it's irrelevant to our calculations.

Diet Coke, however, contains an artificial sweetener as a replacement for sugar. This sweetener, called Aspartame, is an additive far more effective than regular sugar. 113 times sweeter to be exact. This means you only need 0.098 grams of aspartame to make the coke taste as sweet as the 11 grams in regular coke.

Now, let's say you have a 500mL bottle of coke. As mentioned, regular coke contains 11 grams of sugar per 100mL, so you have 55 grams of sugar. The mass density of sugar (in this case we're talking about HFCS (High-Fructose Corn Syrup)) is approximately 1.3 g/mL. Your bottle contains 55/1.3=42 mL of sugar and 500-42=458mL of water, which has a density of 1 g/mL. 458 + 55 = 513 grams.

The diet coke, however, which contains aspartame with a density of approximately 0.3 g/mL, has a lower density. But because we only have 0.1 gram of it, we won't be doing any calculations. We'll just say diet coke has a density of 1 g/mL, and therefore a mass of 500g.

If you like, you can see this in practice on your own. Get a tank of water and put one can of diet coke and one of regular coke in it. But use cans, not bottles, as a glass bottle weighs much more than aluminium. You'll notice that the regular coke sinks to the bottom, while the diet coke floats.

Answer 2

density is the ratio of mass by volume. The coke density can be around 2.11 to 2.14 for the met coke or lam coke. the exact ratio cannot be found and this is the approximate value for the density of the coke.

Answer 3

coca cola can contain anywhere between 4-7 grams of CO2 per ml.

Answer 4

Can't easily determined, because it contains other elements in different amounts
