Observations Coke Both Diet Coke
are made by the same company have the same shape made of aluminum are sealed shut have the same amount of liquid - 12 fl oz similar weights contain water contain carbon dioxide both have caffeine one is red, the other is silver one is diet, one is regular one has nutra sweet Similarities Differences
Question: • What will happen when both coke and diet coke are placed into a beaker of water?
Hypothesis • I think that…
Procedure • Place the regular coke into a large beaker of water. • Place the diet coke into the water. • “Look surprised”
Results • The can of Coke sank to the bottom of our beaker, while our diet floated. This all happened because the can of coke was more dense than water while the can of Diet Coke was less dense than water. • Let’s Prove It!!!!
Density= M / V • The density of water is 1.0 g/ml. • Coke: • Mass= 196g • Volume = 155ml • Diet Coke: • Mass= 155.1 • Volume = 155ml
Sugar Vs. NutraSweet • Sugar= 39000 mg of sugar next to approx • NutraSweet= 188 mg • A small amount of Aspartame is needed to make the Diet Coke sweet because it is so concentrated.
Conclusion • The density of Coke is ___________. • The density of Diet Coke is ___________. Diet Coke floated and Coke Sank because __________________________________ __________________________________
Reflection • What did you learn from the experiment?
