What is the density of soda, syrup, and shampoo?
help, help, help!!!!!!!!!
Answers:
A substance's density is its mass divided by its volume, which is typically expressed as g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimeter) or lbs./ft3 (pounds per cubic foot, which isn't exactly density, but it'll serve for your purposes if you do the unit conversions).
In your case, you can determine the densities of other liquids by comparing the weights of equivalent volumes (say, 1 cup of each) to the weight of 1 cup of water. Water has a density of 0.998 g/cm3, but unless you're using a sensitive scale, call it 1.0 g/cm3. Weigh equivalent volumes of water, soda, syrup, and shampoo. Next, divide the weight of the soda by the weight of the water. Multiple that ratio by the 1.0 g/cm3 (or, if you prefer, 0.998) of water, and that number should give you the approximate density of the soda. Repeat for your other items.
that will depend on the exact composition of the soda, syrup and shampoo; generalizing will not work
Cans of regular soda will sink in water; cans of diet soda will float in water. This density difference has been attributed to sugar concentration in the sodas (regular soda is more dense because it contains sugar; diet soda is less dense because it contains little or no sugar).
