Can you substitute Diet Coke for regular coke in a mento rocket?
It might work. The dissolved CO2 tends to be released much more readily from Diet Coke, when it gets warmer, or is shaken, or when a catalyst such as a Mentos is added. You may not get a fast enough rate of release from regular coke.
How much carbonation is in coke'?
Talking to coca cola specialist Mary, I have found the following: Coke Classic- 3.4 - 4.2 Diet Coke- 3.1 - 4.1 Sprite- 3.2 - 4.2 Fanta Orange- 1.4 - 3.21 volume measured is 1 liter of CO2 disolved in 1 liter of Coke special ingredient at the secret CO2 coke temperature 14.7lbs per square inch at sea level like 3.4-4.2 RAHUL ZOTA
What is in Mentos that make Diet Coke explode?
caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke, in combination with the gelatin and gum Arabic ingredients of the Mentos, all contribute to the jet effect
Why is Diet Coke and mentos a chemical change?
The surface of a Mentos is not smooth; it has microscopic pits, or nucleation sites, on it. These pits cause the CO2 in Diet Coke to come out of solution very quickly at the bottom of the bottle. The result is rapids release of the CO2 and foam in an explosion. This is actually the physical change that occurs. Due to the addition of caffeine, potassium benzoate, and aspartame with the CO2 in the Diet Coke, the reaction is much greater--this would be the chemical change.The Mythbusters did an entire show devoted to discovering why this happens. See the related link below.
Why does Diet Coke go higher than Sprite?
there is more coarbon dioxide in diet coke than in sprite as the carbonation process of diet coke in in much higher quantities the CO2 in the bottle of diet coike is much higher than in sprite eg the amount of co2 given off in 330 ml of coca cola is 660 cm3 where as the amount given off from a sprite can is 400cm3 get it?
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.
How do you inflate your belly with Diet Coke and mentos?
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.
Why did the reaction with Diet Coke and mento's occur?
because it has carbonation which also means "fizz". the mentos has a co2 molecule that changes into gas.
Why is Diet Coke fizzy?
If you shake the can then it wont only fizz and sizzle but explode because the citric acid will make the bubbles with the other ingredients will make CO2 and the solution will have no where to go but explode with a million bubbles coming out the can.
Name multiple minipulative variables for coke and Mentos experiment?
quantity of diet coke, number of mentos, diameter of hole, amount of CO2, different types of Mentos. that's not all possible, but that's quite a few.
Is the co2 in coke a liquid or a gas?
it is a dissolved gas
What fizzes more Diet Coke or pepsi?
Because of the difference in the volume of dissolved solute (sugar/aspartame), Diet Coke tends to be "fizzier" than regular Coke (it will release its dissolved CO2 more easily in sresponse to heating or shaking). Both products are formulated with a dissolved volume of carbon dioxide about 3 to 4 times the atmospheric level.
