I am doing a science project about boiling liquids in different temperatures. And so part of my conclusion is figuring out why coke boils faster than any other liquids? Is it because its carbonic or acidic, etc. Help me please!!!

I was thinking that it may be to do with the density of the coke. It may be lighter than water. It has pockets of carbonated gas dissolved in it (unless we are talking of flat coke) so the volume of actual liquid is smaller than the actual volume you see.

When boiling a liquid the particles need to get enough energy to escape the electrostatic forces that bond it as a liquid. (energy = activation energy = least amount of enery required for a reaction to take place). So a decreased volume and density will need reduced time to boil.

OR this could have something to do with the specific heat capacity of coke.

specific heat capacity is how much energy is required to raise
1g of something up by 1K (K = kelvin)

water has a high specific heat capacity due to hydrogen bonds....

and from their you may have a good answer....

PROBALLY ALL THE CHEMICALS IN IT
IT ALSO EATS BATTERY ACID

It already has bubbles in it, so it's already half way there.
