Science Fair Project: Coca-Cola Light

Decent Essays
The history of my science fair projects objects is that Diet Coke (called Coca-Cola Light in some countries) is a sugar-free soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. Unveiled on July 8, 1982 and introduced in the United States on August 9, it was the first new brand since 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The original recipe for the drink includes five ounces of coca leaf in every gallon of syrup. The coca plant is the same plant from which cocaine is. It also has carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium citrate, natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine. In 1886, John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola and sold it to customers of an atlanta pharmacy.

    Diet Coke is also not as sugary and sticky. Bottled sodas are kept under pressure so that more carbon dioxide is forced out of solution and makes little gas bubbles. So, if you open a bottle of soda gently, you get a pleasant beverage. If you shake the can first, you disrupt the solution and the soda goes every where when you open it. If you add a big enough surfactant, you get a geyser.…

    Despite being a brilliant and innovative businessman, he didn’t realize then that the future of Coca-Cola would be with portable, bottled beverages customers could take anywhere. In 1899, five years later, two Chattanooga lawyers, Benjamin Thomas and Joseph Whitehead approached Candler about perhaps bottling the drink so it was available beyond the soda fountain. Thomas and Whitehead could essentially have the rights to bottle Coke for as long as they wanted, and the could also sell the rights to any bottling plants they created.…

    The regular can of Coca Cola will sink in the water. The reasoning behind this involves the density of the two cans. Sugar or a form of sugar like high fructose corn syrup, will need to be used in a much greater quantity than a sugar substitute, like aspartame. This is simply because we need much less of aspartame to make Coca Cola the desired sweetness needed as we do with high fructose corn syrup. As we know, regular Coca Cola has sugar or high fructose corn syrup, while diet Coca Cola contains a sugar substitute like aspartame.…

    In our Chemistry class, we the students had performed an experiment that involves with a soda can, being crushed. Going step by step, our group simply placed small amounts of water into the soda can. Then we placed the soda can on a hot surface which allowed the water to boil. Once the water was boiling, our group witnessed the steam coming out from the opening on top of the soda can and one of us picked up the soda can with beaker tongs. We quickly submerged it into cold water and the instant temperature change caused the soda can to compress instantly.…

    My science fair project involves soda bubbles and temperature. I chose this project because I’m interested in the viscosity(a chemical in soda) that is part of a soda/liquid, and how the viscosity is affected by the temperature of the liquid. I am also interested in bubbles specifically their length of time, so it would be interesting to see how the length of time is affected by temperature. The question that I am going to answer is, how does the temperature of soda affect the length of time of bubbles? The independent variable in the project being done is the temperature.…

    After researching the reactions of other soft drinks as well, I have found that carbonated drinks like diet Sprite and diet Dr.Pepper work better than most as well as the diet coke. The amount of acids in the drink or whatever you drop it into, matters a great deal to the experiment. It matters for the results because those acids and carbon dioxide already in the soft drink are what get…

    The history of diet soda is longer than you could think. The term of soft drink is developed from soda water around 1798. Carbonated water was invented by Joseph Priestly in 1767, when he first explored a method of infusing water with carbon dioxide by hanging a bowl of water from above a vat of fermenting beer in a brewery in Leeds, England. In 1771, Torbern Bergman, chemistry professor, invented another similar process, separately from Priestly. At this time, many people were suffering from poor health so he was trying to reproduce naturally fizzing mineral spring waters to cure diseases.…
