coke is heavier than Diet Coke because of the corn syrup. Corn syrup is much heavier than the artificial sweeteners in Diet Coke. Also, because artificial sweeteners are 200 times sweeter than sugar, less of it can be used, making diet coke lighter.

DIET COKE IS VERY BAD FOR YOU THOUGH; YOU WOULD BE MUCH BETTER OFF DRINKING A REGULAR COKE. DIET COKE DOES NOT HELP WEIGHT PROBLEMS EITHER, JUST DRINK WATER.

Sugar and artificial sweeteners are both more dense than water. However, diet drinks do not actually contain nearly as much artificial sweetener as regular drinks contain sugar, so the net result is that they're much closer to the density of water. The small amount of air contained within a can is enough to make a Diet Soda float in a barrel of water; the heavier regular drinks usually sink.
I believe it has more dissolved sugar which increases its density.

Yes, because of the sugar content. C.P the more sugar the higher the density. Density measurement is a routine lab test.

Why does the Diet Coke float in water while the Regular coke sinks?

The Diet Coke will float because it is less dense than water and the regular coke will sink because it is more dense than water.In regular coke, more sugar is used as a sweetener also makes it more dense than water and the more dense the substance, it is the more likely to sink.Aspartame and Saccharin are artificial sweeteners found in diet coke. They are at least 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Therefore, a smaller amount of sweetener is used to sweeten the diet coke.Density is the amount of mass in a volume (mass/volume).Any substance that is less dense than water is likely to floatAny substance that is more dense than water is likely to sink.
