It also does this because a chimail in the coke reacts with the mentos and makes it fizz up/bubble up alot and it increass the preassure in the bottle and the bottle can't take the pressure so the lid pop's off and the soda explodes in to the air,

Why is it better to use Diet Coke than regular coke in a mentos and coke experiment?
Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
Does tic tacs and coke react the same way as Mentos and coke?
Yes, if you have the cap on and let it set a couple minutes. It is a volcano
What happens when you put Mentos in warm coke?
same as if it happens with cold coke, it explodes into a fountain of coke!
Does Mentos explode in coke or Diet Coke or coke 0?
Yes it can but it isn't 100% the same
Why does Mentos make the coke react?
Mentos fizz because of the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos. These are basically microscopic holes and when it comes into contact with the coke all of the dissolved carbon dioxide condenses and form bubbles that wear away layers of the mentos where more nucleation sites are accessible by the carbon dioxide. This is why the reaction is not repeatable with the same coke or a flat coke.
Why does coke and Mentos make a volcano?
Because the carbon dioxide produced (coke is a carbonated beverage) fizzes up and explodes due to the surface area of the mentos. Remember all reactions, apart from nuclear reactions, occur on surfaces. For the same reason, vinegar and baking soda react likewise. There is very vigorous bubbling looking like an explosion due to the rapid evolution of carbon dioxide.
What else can cause a diet pepsi explosion like the Mentos kind what can you use other then Mentos?
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
What erupts better vinegar with baking soda or Diet Coke with mentos?
Bkng soda vinegar is a CHEMICAL reaction, a chemical change occurs giving CO2 and water. The rate depends on the conc. of your vinegar, temperature and the surface area of the soda (fine powder)Mentos/coke is a PHYSICAL reaction, no chemical change occurs (though sugar dissolves and eventually hydrolyses to glucose, but this is incidental). The same thing happens with Mentos and carbonated water.CO2 dissolved in the coke is released by a process called nucleation on the surface of the mentos.A rough surface is better than a smooth one, so this might be a useful area to investigate for your project.The mentos reaction is probably fastest under most conditions, and you can experiment with temperature, acid strength, different types of Mentos (some are smooth and are rubbish), fizzy drinks with different amounts of sugar dissolved, lots of variables are there if you think about it.
Why do diet Pepsi and metos react?
the myth busters have a cool video on youtube u should check it out it explains it just go to youtube and type in something similar to myth busters test mentos and diet coke or the same question you asked here
If Mentos are added to sprite will it explode?
No, use carbonated soda's and you will get a huge foamy mess.
If you eat too much Mentos and drink diet coke at the same time will something happen to us?
Yes! If you do this your body will explode and it will do backflips into space!
Can you inflate with mentos if you chew them up after drinking coke?
This is an urban myth. It's true that putting Mentos into a bottle of Coke will cause an impressive geyser of soda to erupt from the bottle. However, you won't get the same effect from eating Mentos after drinking Coke. And if you do try the experiment I don't suggest eating or drinking anything else because after you digest everything you might burp and you might hit everything that you already has a and I dressed it already and it will taste very very nasty.
