How much sugar is there in a can of soda? (Density)

If you put a can of regular coke or pepsi into a container with water, it will sink. While, if you put a can of diet coke into the same container, it will float.
WHY?
 Coke has more mass because of the 35 grams of sugar it contains, compared to the 125 milligrams of sweetener in a can of diet coke.
The cans of soda have exactly the same volume, or size. But their density is different  due to what is dissolved in the soda. If you look at the nutrition facts on a can of regular soda, you will notice that it contains sugar...a lot of sugar.
Rethink your drink!!!!!

  2. ⦁The experiment was very interesting, like Alexia said.
    ⦁It was funny
    ⦁In a part of the experiment there was curiosity, because we didn't know if the regular coke would sink or float,while the other (diet coke)would do the same or the opposite.
    SOLUTION:
    ⦁The regular coke sinks, because has a lot of sugar. (35 grams of sugar)
    ⦁And the diet coke floats, because has only 125 milligrams of sweetener.
    THINK BEFORE DRINKING SOFT DRINKS!
