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.

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 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.


Does plastic float in salt water?

It depends on the type of plastic. Some plastics are less dense than water and float, others are more dense than water and sink. It also matters whether the plastic is hollow or not. For example, polystyrene is more dense than water and sinks, unless you blow gas into it while it's setting to make styrofoam, which floats. Poly(ethylene terephthalate), the kind of plastic used to make soda bottles, will sink... unless you make a soda bottle out of it and put the cap on, in which case the trapped air inside will make it float.


Can you give me an example of science fair project about density?

Fresh eggs are less dense than water and hence will float whereas old eggs will sink at the bottom of the container filled with water. Similarly, a regular soda can will sink in water and a diet soda can will float on water. Water have a density of 1.00 g/cm3.


Why an orange float?

When the skin is intact on an orange, it will allow it to float because the rind has is filled with tiny pockets of air an is porous. If the peel is taken off, the orange will sink because it become dense.

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.

How will a raisin sink?

Raisins sink in water because they are denser. However, the carbon dioxide molecules found in soda float to the top because they want to escape from the liquid. These CO2 molecules (seen as bubles) attatch to the raisins pulling them up to the surface as well. When the CO2 bubles reach the surface, they pop and the raisins begin to sink again.


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.

Why does the raisin sink and float when put in a soft drink?

The raisins are actually denser than the soda, making them sink, but the carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles in a fizzy drink are drawn to the surface of a raisin. When enough bubbles have coagulated, it raises the raisin higher because of the increased buoyancy, allowing it to float to the surface. Once the raisin reaches the surface, the bubbles pop and the carbon dioxide is released into the air, thus giving the raisin a "dancing" motion. The released carbon dioxide causes the raisin to sink again so it can collect more bubbles. The bubbles act as a life vest that vanishes when it reaches the surface. The rising and falling of the raisins stops when most of the carbon dioxide has escaped from the soda. Sometimes, the raisin absorbs too much water and it sinks to the bottom. This experiment also works with baking soda and vinegar. Vinegar has acetic acid, which reacts with the baking soda, which is a base. The compounds for baking soda and vinegar (acetic acid) are NaHCO3+CH3COOH. This "dancing" movement also works with many different objects, such as macaroni or corn.

Does a 2 liter soda float in water?

An empty,sealed 2 liter soda bottle WILL float in water.


Will soda in a can float?

A can of soda can float in salt water because the salt water is more dense than the can of soda.
