Best Answer

Regular coke contains sucrose as a sweetener. Sucrose is more dense than water, and so it sinks. Diet Coke doesn't sink because it contains Aspartame as a sweetener. Aspartame is less dense than water.

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.
