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.

What experiment could you make?

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.


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.


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

What if a dog drinks coke?

Sure, coke can kill dogs, or people. I am not sure if you refer to cocaine or to Coca Cola, but either can be fatal in sufficiently large doses. In moderate doses, Coca Cola is perfectly safe. Still, I would advise you to give your dog water, not Coca Cola.
