Will Mentos dissolve in coke?

Mentos do dissolve but they realease Co2 which creates pressure in excess with the Co2 in diet coke (the thing that makes the bubbly feeling in your mouth is Co2) Which is why the stuff overflows and explodes.

When you put the Mentos which coke makes it explode?

If you put mentos in your mouth for a long enough time without chewing, yuou would soon find that the texture of the mentos changes to a slightly rough surface. The soft layer before that will dissolve in water, like in your mouth. When the mentos is put into the coke, the soft layer is dissolved off. The rough sorface of the mentos releases the carbon dioxide dissolved inside the coke (H2CO3), but the mentos is small, and can only hold a little ammount of the carbon dioxide. But once the carbon dioxide is released, this reaction cannot be reversed, all the excess carbon dioxide rushes out. This set-up will work best on diet coke because it contains no sugar to act as impurities.

Since Diet Coke has NO sugar, any other soda has more sugar than it does, so long as it's a soda and not a diet drink.

How long does it take for the coke to shoot up when you drop Mentos in it?

What happens if you put mentos in a Diet Coke?

A Soda FountainMentos contains a chemical known as arabic gum (this is the ingredient that makes the mint "chewy"). This ingredient causes the surface tension of the water molecules to break even more easily, releasing carbon dioxide gas. However, this is not the primary reason for the release of carbon dioxide gas . If you look at a Mentos with a powerful microscope, you will see that it has a very rough surface, that looks somewhat like pumice. This bumpy surface attracts the carbon dioxide in the diet coke to the point where a bubble forms, at which point it's released and rises to the top of the coke. Multiply this by a couple million times around the entire Mentos, and you have a fountain!See Related Links for a demonstration & practical joke idea

Why would after years of drinking Diet Coke would your husband now get a sharp head pain when he takes a sip of Diet Coke?

Answer:I'm not a doctor but maybe he's tired of it. His body has had it so long that his body needs something different. He's had it too long. The best way to get rid of the headaches would be to have him drink a different soda for a while and then go back to Diet coke. This should make him lose the headaches and no problem. I am going through the same thing. I switched from regular coke to diet coke. Been drinking it for years. Again, I'm not a doctor, but all my doctor wanted me to do is keep popping antibotics. Pill after Pill, It was mistaken for Sinus Infection, then I realized that the problem was drinking diet coke. The best way to get rid of the headaches is ween off of soda altogether. Its not good for you, and addicting as I well know, but I have seized in having the sharp head pains. Also, I believe that its the artificial sweetner that is in the diet soda. I think finally that my body can no longer fight the effects of what "fake sugar" does to your body. Maybe that is what is occurring with your husband. Hope it helps.


What happens when you drop a Mentos in water or milk?

When you drop Mentos into Diet Coke, the bottle will become a geyser, shooting soda up to 20 feet high. This happens because the Mentos' surface catches the small carbon dioxide bubbles and connects them into much larger ones. When the bubbles break off the candy's surface, they burst and cause the soda to shoot out of the bottle.
