The density of table sugar is 1.6 g/cm3.In a diet soda, about 0.21 g of aspartame (artificial sweetener) is dissolved in 355 mL of carbonated water. The density of aspartame is 1.4 g/cm3. Given the density of water is 1 g/mL identify which can has a density less than 1 g/mL and thus would float in the tank. A. The can of diet soda.
