Why can raisins float in lemonade but not in water?

Answer 1

Raisins dance because when you put a raisin in a lemonade with a small cup of vinegar there are bubbles gonna come up to attach to the raisins then at the top bubbles pop.

Answer 2

Raisins are denser than the liquid in the soda, so initially they sink to the bottom of the glass. The carbonated soft drink releases carbon dioxide bubbles. When these bubbles stick to the rough surface of a raisin, the raisin is lifted because of the increase in buoyancy. When the raisin reaches the surface, the bubbles pop, and the carbon dioxide gas escapes into the air. This causes the raisin to lose buoyancy and sink. This rising and sinking of the raisins continues until most of the carbon dioxide has escaped, and the soda goes flat. Furthermore, with time the raisin gets soggy and becomes too heavy to rise to the surface.

Answer 3

Rasins are more dense than water but less dense than lemonade. floating or sinking all depends on density.

Answer 4

It depends On How much Lemonade is in the glass. Though it Would Sink Because The Raisins at the point all together are more dense than the lemonade itself. Hope This Helps.

Answer 5

because of the fizz

Answer 6

because of the acid
