Mentos fizz because of the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos. These are basically microscopic holes and when it comes into contact with the coke all of the dissolved carbon dioxide condenses and form bubbles that wear away layers of the mentos where more nucleation sites are accessible by the carbon dioxide. This is why the reaction is not repeatable with the same coke or a flat coke.

It must be the formula of the two products, that make a chemical reaction inside the liquid.
People like you make me puke. Why post an answer that starts "I don't actually know." If you don't actually know, then shut up and stay away. The reason that Mentos make coke fizz is to do with the surface structure. The surface is covered with tiny pits that release CO2 gas from the drink at a rapid pace, resulting in the froth.

∙ 13y agothe pore (indents) in the mentos reacts with the carbon gas (cant thing of name but gives the coke fizz). this reaction makes a huge amount of carbon gas which rushes and makes the "eruption"

∙ 13y agoThe surface of the metos dissolves as the carbon dioxide (CO2) breakes it down, the eating up of the coating of the mentos forms a fizz that is visible to us.

∙ 12y agomentos react with coke because there is more than 2 solutons in the coke that makes it fiz
mentos is made of powder and coke reacts with powder so that is why it reacts xx

Why is it better to use Diet Coke than regular coke in a mentos and coke experiment?
Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
How do dimples make the the Mentos react with the coke?
the dimply surface in the mentos cause a polar attraction between the water molecules
Why does Mentos react with regular coke?
it makes it shoot out the bottle, the coke.
What drinks will Mentos react in?
pepsi and coke, though coke works better
What does soda have in it to make it react to Mentos?
carbination, caffine, and a bunch of other stuff... go on to youtube and type in Mythbusters: coke and mintoes
How do you make Mentos and coke explode?
Because of the carbon dioxide in the Mentos :)
How many mentos make mentos geysers?
one you will need coke
How small are the the holes on the surface of Mentos that react with coke?
It contains a chemical called lame
What happens if you combine a metos candy with Diet Coke?
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.
How do Mentos react on soda?
Rather explosively. When you mix Diet Coke and Mentos, they will fizz like there's no tomorrow. If you want to try this, do it outside.
Does tic tacs and coke react the same way as Mentos and coke?
Yes, if you have the cap on and let it set a couple minutes. It is a volcano
Can you make a Mentos bomb without coke?
yes
