Diet Soda will float, while regular soda will sink. This difference is primarily due to the sweeteners used: diet soda typically contains artificial sweeteners that are less dense than sugar, making it less dense than water. Regular soda, with its sugar content, has a higher density, causing it to sink.

Will a raisin sink or float the fastest on carbonated waterdiet sodaor regular soda?

A raisin will float the fastest on regular soda, followed by diet soda, and then carbonated water. This is because regular soda has the highest sugar content which makes it the most buoyant, while carbonated water has the least amount of sugar.


Why will diet pop float but regular will not?

Why Diet Pop FloatsThings that are less dence than water float, and those more dense than water sink. Empty cans float, rocks sink. This happens because of density. Regular soda is heavier than the diet soda which makes one float and one sink. that show how mass and volume are different. Mass means how much stuff can fit in an object. If something is heavier, it has more mass. Volume means how much space an object takes up. both cans have the same volume, the heavier can has the greatest mass (More dense).Most of the diet sodas usually contain aspartame, artificial sweetener. regular sodas have sugar. Most regular sodas have about 41 grams of sugar. Diet soda is flavored with artificial sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. sugar and aspartame are denser than water.Why do cans of diet soda float? It is because there is a little bit of space filled with gas, which is much less dense than the soda. Sugared drinks still have this headspace, but the excessive amounts of sugar added makes the can denser than water.


Objects float or sink because of their density and not because of their weight?

If you have a Non Diet Soda and a Diet Soda the Diet Soda will float because it is less dense (use aluminum if you can) Since water has the density of 1, any thing with the density smaller than water will float. Anything more than 1 will sink. Occasionally, you may come across something that will be suspended somewhere in the middle.

When a can of Pepsi and diet Pepsi are dropped in a tank of room temperature water why does diet Pepsi float and Pepsi doesn't?

Because the high sugar content in regular coke makes it more dense. Diet sodas in general are less dense because the artificial sweetener used is much much sweeter than sugar, and so it is not necessary to add nearly as much (about 10 times less). So diet sodas are less dense than regular soda, and a can of diet soda will float in water but not regular.


Will a raisin float or sink in soda water?

A raisin will float in soda water because the gas bubbles in the soda water attach to the rough surface of the raisin, making it buoyant.


Does aluminum soda cans float in water?

No, aluminum soda cans will sink in water because aluminum is denser than water. The air trapped inside a closed soda can may cause it to briefly float, but it will eventually sink.

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 will an soda can float or sink?

A soda can will sink if it is filled with liquid because the overall density of the can plus the liquid is greater than the density of water. However, if the can is empty or filled with air, it will float as the overall density is less than that of water.
