Want this question answered?
If you put a mentos in the diet coke and put it on the microwave, it will cause a chemical reaction causing your microwave to explode.
If you combine Mentos and Diet Coke, you could get a big boom. The coke will react with the mentos, making a chemical reaction together and create the giant explosion.
no but if it's warm it's not as tasty
No nothing happens to u.u can see a reaction by poping one in a bottle of coke!!!
The caffeine in the coke produces a chemical reaction with the ingredients in the mentors, possibly baking soda? The reaction is a fizzing of the candy. Really tho? Have you never done this as a kid? You had a very awkward childhood.
I strongly believe diet coke has a stronger reaction to mentos!
One cool project is what chemical reaction does mentos and coke make after mixing them!
The mentos causes the coke to over flow by the sugar casing on the mentos this is what effects it to rise.
The Coke and Mentos experiment is a physical reaction and not a chemical one because the chemical compounds involved are not changed. No "chemistry" happens, but only "physics" occurs. Let's look. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is dissolved in the Coke, and when the cap is removed, it begins to come out of solution and form bubbles. There is a complex issue regarding exactly where a bubble will form and how it will grow, but bubbles do form and grow. Dump in some Mentos and the surface of each of the Mentos provides a "zillion" sites for bubbles to form. They form quickly, then detach, and more bubbles quickly form. This results in a cascade of bubble formation and the dramatic result we see. And it's all about the CO2 coming out of solution and making bubbles rapidly. Those bubbles carry Coke with them to the top of the bottle as they make their way out, and we see the fountain form. The Mentos and Coke are unchanged, just as the CO2 is unchanged in this physicalreaction.The reaction of Diet Coke and Mentos is a physical reaction. Links can be found below to learn more.
No, its an Endothermic Reaction.
Well mentos have these small pockets on them where the CO2 can gather on and be released very rapidly. This is called nulceation. There is no chemical reaction caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke and the gelatin and gum Arabic ingredients of the Mentos all contribute to the jet effect.
same as if it happens with cold coke, it explodes into a fountain of coke!
