Why do diet sodas react better with Mentos?
Diet coke reacts with mentos because the chemicals in the mentos and cola react to cause the soda's carbon dioxide to quickly turn into a gas an escape from solution. Although the exact nature of the reaction is unknown, it seems to relate to things such as the coating on the mentos and the artificial sweetener in the cola. peanuts In mentos there is sodium and diet coke has carbon dioxide and they are both from the periodic tables and they don't work together.
Why does diet soda explode when Mentos are added?
Mentos dropped into diet sodas will cause the CO2 to come out of solution very quickly. It is believed that the irregular surface of the candy provides an ideal location for bubbles to form and accelerates the process many times the normal speed, causing the geyser of soda to spew out of the top. Just about any diet soda will work and it goes about 10 feet!

Why do you get a bigger eruption with diet coke and mentos?
It doesn't. However, most geyser-makers prefer diet soda over regular because the sugar substitute is not sticky (sugar, of course, is very sticky) and therefore does not make as much of a mess for the ones standing nearby or cleaning up after! out during the explosion.Answer:when i tried to see if coke or Pepsi max would Not necessarily The reason for the geyser is not a chemical reactionause the diet soda doesn't have nearly as sticky residue if not cleaned up properly. Because it has less sugar.
Can you substitute Diet Coke for regular coke in a mento rocket?
It might work. The dissolved CO2 tends to be released much more readily from Diet Coke, when it gets warmer, or is shaken, or when a catalyst such as a Mentos is added. You may not get a fast enough rate of release from regular coke.
A eat Mentos and soda and nothing happens what's wrong?
If you want mean "I ate some mentos and soda and nothing happened, what's wrong" Then I can tell you nothing is wrong. The recation happens because you are dropping the mentos into the soda (see Why_do_diet_coke_and_mentos_reactfor full details) and the digestion doesn't work like that. Also, the stomach acid won't let the reaction occur.
