Question

the image shows a can of regular soda and a can of diet soda in different cylinders of water. the cans are identical, but the soda inside is different. what conclusions can be drawn about the cans of soda? choose three. the density of the regular soda is greater than the density. the density of the diet soda is less than the density of water. the volume of the diet soda can is greater than the volume of the regular soda can. the regular soda is denser than the diet soda because it has less mass.

Explanation:

1. Density determines floating - sinking behavior. If regular soda sinks more than diet soda in water, its density is greater than diet soda and likely greater than water. Diet soda may float more, indicating its density is less than water.
2. Cans are identical, so volumes are equal. Regular soda is denser likely due to more mass (e.g., from sugar in regular soda vs. artificial sweeteners in diet soda).

Answer:

The density of the regular soda is greater than the density of the diet soda.
The density of the diet soda is less than the density of water.
The regular soda is denser than the diet soda because it has more mass.
