Not much. The chemicals and sugar in Mentos kick all of the carbon dioxide is soda loose at one time- so it foams up in a fountain- but flat soda has already lost most or all of the CO2.


What happens when you put Mentos in a can of soda?

there is a large amount of fruit acid in mentos , so when you react it with another acid they will combine and cause a reaction: if you put a mentos in a can of soda it will erupt, explode, ect. like an explosive volcano due to the fact of the acid. Above answer is completely wrong, there are tiny nucleation sites on the mentos where the CO2 of the soda's carbonation turns to real gas and fizzes up through the tiny opening. as a result of all the bubbles, the soda literally is pushed up and out of the bottle into a soda geyser.

Why does mint Mentos work better with Diet Coke than fruit 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.

David's AnswerDiet pop doesn't work best. It is just less sticky, because there is no sugar. The reason the reaction occurs is because of the presence of CO2; which is found in any soda.


How does Mentos and soda pop a balloon?

Sure, but it is likely to blow up in your face! Wear safety goggles if you try it! Put the candy in the balloon, stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle and shake the candy out into the soda. It will release the gases and expand the balloon.
