no, it reacts with all drinks that have carbon dioxide in them. like sodas such as fanta, Pepsi, root beer, all of those.
I tried it with pineapple fanta in a cup, but it didn't work, but I have found out that it only works with diet coke. It might work in a cup.
Only Diet Coke and Mentos will make an explosion, Not Diet Pepsi, Coke Classic, or any other soda will produce an explosion of the same magnitude. that is not true diet root beer (A&W) also works
because it only makes a bit of gas when it explodes
yes it does. very much it is fun to do. it is better the diet coke! you could also do it with mentos
The bubbling action that occurs from dropping a mentos into a diet coke occurs because the high quantities of carbon dioxide held within the soda react with the candy. The candy's shell is actually comprised of many extremely small pits in which the CO2 forms in a process called nucleation. The diet coke has 7 times more CO2 than can be easily dissolved into water at regular atmospheric pressures. Increasing the pressure on the liquid allows it to dissolve more CO2. This CO2, once released from its high pressure tank is trying to escape its watery prison. With the addition of the mentos, the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself, and all of the CO2 escapes the water in a short amount of time often with explosive results. The only difference that could be ascertained would be that the fruit mentos lack the same number of pits available with the mint mentos, resulting in a slower release of CO2, which in turn causes a smaller explosion.
yes it is a base
it can only if it diet of coke
Coke, because coke is yet a low calorie but tasty at the same time. The only way diet coke could be better is if someone is a diabetic
yes, because coca cola is a lot more dense than diet coke because it has so less chemicals than diet coke
Yes, it will work. But it won't give a very forceful reaction. If you want to do this experiment I strongly suggest that you use Diet Coke. It works much better.
mentos!!! but only with diet soda!!
no. only mentos. maybe I'm wrong. why don't you test it out.
