Well, it probably dies because of osmosis... The cells of the plant have more water in them than the coke does (coke is full of sugar, salts, etc). Therefore, the water migrates through the membrane of the cell and leaves the flower, causing it to wilt and die of lack of water. Osmosis is all about the water movement, from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water through a membrane. Look up osmosis for more information. I hope your science classes have gotten there, otherwise, it'll not make any sense. Good luck!

for my area the Coca Cola company are perpetrating chemical war at something of the international by technique of merchandising this product. It has no redeeming traits. to boot as containing phosphoric acid, caffeine and sugar or sweeteners it tastes revolting and is no longer the least bit fresh. Phosphoric acid is a effortless reagent for many chemical tactics inclusive of specific chemical war compounds inclusive of phosgene
