Want this question answered?
It is really just to show younger people how different things react, usually after performing this experiment the class will be taught the meaning of the terms independent, dependant and controlled variables and will identify these terms within the experiment. Eg. INDEPENDENT: flavours of mentos/ coke DEPENDENT: height of reaction (spurt) CONTROL: Level mentos is dropped from.
you can put mentos in a 2 litter bottle of coke and when you take off the lid it will explode :)
It's simple. Just take a 2-liter of coke (Diet Coke works better) and stick as many mentos in it as you want. (one will still work)
acid
500
2-5 seconds, be ready to clean up a BIG mess
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.
First you need a 2 liter of diet coke and 2-3 packs of mentos. Try to keep as much of the co2 in the coke ie not shaking it. Then drink a little over half slowly in give or take 2 min. Then eat all of the mentos whole. Then drink the rest of the coke. Some advice, lie down during the aftermath and when your blowing up. Also try not to burp. Thats what blows you up.
Mint Mentos dont work, use the fruity kind. To get the best results, take a liter of diet coke, shake it, add some fruity mentos, and shake again. then uncap and run away!!
Nope! This is a myth and was debunked by Jamie and Adam in an episode of Mythbusters. There is no way any amount of consumption of Coke and Mentos will explode your stomach. However, if you take a fresh bottle of Coke and throw a couple of Mentos in it, you will definitely get an "explosion" - a fountain of Coke shooting toward the skies.
Mentos makes a geyser shaking it just make it fizz over the top but if you take diet coke and two mentos put in the mentos then the top really quick and shake it up and throw it on the street (far away from you) you will be pretty satisfied.
Depending on when you want to get your stomach exploded...because that is the result of mentos-coke combination!!! And actually, it has been confirmed that it is extremely dangerous and suggested to keep away from following this combination!!!
