Distillation experiment

We will be doing an experiment with distillation. We will be using evaporation and condensation. Evaporation is heating something up, giving it so much energy that it starts heating up and turns into a gas. Condensation is turning the gas from the evaporation back into liquid. Doing it with a mixture will dilute the liquid, making it taste farther from the original. The condensation can form a solid because it can create solid crystals and condensation cools down so that it reverts back into liquid.

Aim: to separate a solution suing coke/coke zero to form a solid + a liquid.

Hypothesis: I believe the solid will look greenish in color and so will the liquid. I think that sugar crystals will form, less on the coke zero while more will form in the normal coke because of the different sugar levels.

Observation: When it was heating, the water evaporated and condensated back into liquid. The liquid turned into water when the coke zero started heating. After the end, both coke had different results. The normal coke had more residue than coke zero but the water was green and wasn't as clear.

Conclusion: The coke zero evaporated and condensated back into water. There is few residue left. My hypothesis partially correct, but I have no idea how to explain it.
