Why does coke and mint Mentos react?
the 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 (Coke also works, but is less effective because there is no aspartame). The physical structure of the Mentos is the most significant cause of the eruption due to nucleation. The surface of the mint Mentos is littered with many small holes, allowing CO2 bubbles to form very rapidly and in great quantity, in turn causing the jet of foam.
What is the function of the small holes in the bone surface?
The function of the small holes in the bones surface is so it can receive nutrients to the bones inside.
Why do coke and Mentos explode?
The reason Coke and Mentos explode in a frothy fountain of bubbles is due to the process called nucleation. Nucleation is the phenomenon where a dissolved gas in a liquid is able to come out of solution by forming in a crack, crevice, hole, or any small irregularity in the container. The stream of bubbles that can bee seen bubbling to the surface of a glass of champaign is a perfect example; the dissolved gas in the champaign comes out of solution by forming in small irregularities at the bottom of the glass of champaign. Mentos are full of extremely small holes on their surface, giving dissolved gas a place to form and turn into bubbles. When the Mento is dropped into the Coke, millions of bubbles of CO2 form instantaneously on the Mento's surface through nucleation. Thus, much of the dissolved CO2 in the Coke comes out of solution instantaneously and bubbles up to the surface, creating the wonderful fountain of soda that everyone loves!
What causes soda to explode when a mento is put into it?
no i did the experiment. the pop rocks just float to the top and the mentos fizz up the soda depending on the type of soda
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.
Where can you get mentos?
at a small covenant store
Are Mentos vegetarian?
No, they contain a small amount of bees wax.
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.
Spalls are small holes that do not penetrate through the pavement surface and are how large?
up to 5 ft in diameter
Where does water leave the leaf?
The water evaporates through the stomata during transpiration. The stomata are very small holes on the surface of the leaf.
How do you get filters with small holes?
You can get filters with small holes by using graphene.
Do fruit Mentos explode with Diet Coke?
Mentos look like their real smooth, but really they have lots of little small imperfections all over the surface. If you look at a glass of coke at any stage you can see the bubbles rising through it, if you put your finger into the coke you can see that bubbbles will form all over your finger. This is the carbon dioxide escaping from the coke. By putting a mentos in there all those little imperfections that are on the surface of it allow all the carbon dioxide to come out of solution, because there are so many little voids etc.. the mentos pulls a lot of carbon dioxide out fast and that's why the bottle of coke fizz's up.
