Why does Coke fountain up into the air when Mentos is dropped into it?

The surface of the mentos allows the dissolved carbon dioxide to escape from solution very quickly, and so it foams up and fountains in that way.

Why does soda explode when you put mentos in it?
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)

Nope! This is a myth and was debunked by Jamie and Adam in an episode of Mythbusters. There is no way any amount of consumption of Coke and Mentos will explode your stomach. However, if you take a fresh bottle of Coke and throw a couple of Mentos in it, you will definitely get an "explosion" - a fountain of Coke shooting toward the skies.
What is the theory of coke and Mentos exploding?
because the mentos has microscopic bumps on its shell, it traps the carbon dioxide and makes it escape a lot quicker than normal. that's why there is that white foamy stuff on the top, because the carbon dioxide(the fizziness) is escaping so quickly.

Why does coca cola explode when Mentos are dropped into it?
Basically, you are witnessing the Surface Effect. Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles. Diet Coke has more carbon dioxide than other regular sodas. The surface of the "mento" is jagged and filled with nooks and crannies. The Carbon Dioxide finds all of these holes and fills them with bubbles. Since the Mentos are heavy, they drop to the bottom of the bottle, forming bubbles all the way down. This is what causes the fast and furious explosion out of the top of the Diet Coke bottle.

Is an experiment with soda and Mentos a chemical or physica reaction?
it is not a chemical but a physical one when the mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. also, water molecules connect tightly together creating surface tension that is quickly broken down by the gelatine and the gum Arabic from the mentos the experiment also works on lots of other things however, it works especially well on mentos because mentos have a lot of nucleation sites. these are areas that co2 can create bubbles. they can be scratches on a surface or anything. the compressed co2 from the soft drink then create thousands of bubbles in each nucleation site.
