What ingredent makes the mentos and Diet Coke explode?

Answer 1

There is no ingredient in Mentos that causes the explosion. It is the carbon dioxide in the Coke that causes it. Mentos merely provides a place for the bubbles to escape solution and release; you could do exactly the same using sugar or another powder.

Answer 2

The candy, basically, creates a release of gas and the energy comes from the expansion and upward movement within the bottle. It is practically identical to what would happen if you rapidly agitated (shook) the bottle of carbonated soda.

This particular candy forms thousands of tiny pits on the outside of the candy. This creates "nucleation points" for the carbon dioxide gas that is dissolved in the soda. Each particle of the candy creates a gas pocket (fizz) that rapidly rises to the top, disturbing even more gas molecules on the way up. This chain reaction strips as much as 80% of the carbon dioxide from the drink, and this rapidly rising gas pushes the liquid soda upward and out of the bottle with great force. This is usually not enough to burst the plastic bottle, but it is a considerable pressure release.
