Why not juts fucking drink the goddamn coke, eat the ice and then tell your scientist buddies to go smoke a cock!?

you are totally, totally, totally wrong

it is 104.4

But yes.... it will go down

i always figured it would stay the same since when you put ice in the coke rises then once the ice begins to melt the amount it had risen stays the same.

Lets say you have a glass of coke with plenty of ice. Its filled to the top, just barely not spilling over the top. Once the ice melts, will the coke spill over the top, stay in the same place, or go down?
The level will go down just a little bit (because of gas bubbles being disolved during the melting of the ice cubes)

As prevoiusly stated, about 10% of a floating piece of ice will be above the surface if it's floating in water. I'd assume that coke is more dense than water and also there will be bubbles under the ice. So I'd say that more than 10% will be above the surface. If water contracts only 9% when melting then I'd say it will overflow. But that's only if you don't take evapouration into account.

it'll go down

sure, the part about the 10% of the ice being on top and having a density which is 10% of the fluid water are correct, but what about the carbonic acid in the coke (the stuff responsible for the sparkling)? with each bubble, one molecule of the acid (H2CO3) reacts to a molecule of water (H2O) and a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2). the gas (CO2) then "leaves" the coke, leaving just the molecule of water behind. and due to the fact that H2CO3 has a higher volume than H2O, there will be a smaller amount of liquid left in the glass.

Water contracts until 277.15 kelvin, anything below that and it expands, making the water level go lower when melting.

Why do things contract when they freeze then?

Unless my understanding of the physics/chemistry involved is way off the coke should spill out from the glass.
Water is the only element tha expands as it freezes.

Whoever said water expands when it freezes is correct. When the ice melts the level of the liquid in the glass will have gone down.

But until the point when all of the ice is melted it will be higher.

Not too related, but did you know that there's a point when water freezes that it actually contracts BEFORE expanding in size?

Please please please tell me you've put a closed, never opened water bottle in the freezer...

or a beer can

or.. .(shudder) a coke can, then spent the rest of the day de-coking everything in the freezer!

Thanks.  I can't seem to find the site that had about 20 different "wierd" characteristics of water, but I remember that one.

Woohoo, useless numbers!  http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/phase.html

Naw, go nothin to contribute to this thread.  I have no way of knowing the actual numbers of how much ice is above water, as well as how much less dense the ice is compared TO water.  If someone can bring up the numbers, then this can be resolved.

Right, just when my headache had started going away I have to go and read this post. Now its back with a vengeance. Too much science talk, too little comprehension on my part.

right... I've got coke.. I've got ice... and I've got a microwave... give me five minutes!

here we go:

it stays the same!

ice and coke in glass.. ice NEARLY filled glass - coke added after ice

coke and ice in microwave on full power (to speed up the thawing process)
https://img176.imageshack.us/img176/5731/duringss6.jpg

coke and no ice, as soon as I noticed no ice was left - still in microwave - you can see there was NO spillage.
https://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4746/afterinmiclh1.jpg

then the coke in the same place as the last one - one perspective and one side on shot

finally, a edited image showing (As best as I can manage) the glass before and after, scaled and adjusted to be the same height.
here you can see the liquid level is just about the same!
