What two materials can you use to make a chemical reaction?

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar generates carbon dioxide gas. It can be used in chemical volcanoes and other science projects.


What chemicals are used in a volcano experiment?

An volcanic eruption is NOT caused by a chemical reaction. It is caused by a PHYSICAL change. Gasses dissolved in the magma effervesce as the pressure on the magma drops in proximity to the land surface.


Is the same gas produced in different chemical reactions?

If what you get is the same, chemically, as what you started with, then no, it's not a chemical reaction (be careful to take side effects into account: a series of reactions can yield the same molecule you started with, but make changes in other molecules in the process). If it's not chemically identical, then even if the properties are similar, it IS a chemical reaction.


Does coke and baking soda go together?

go ahead try it


Does a substance such as coke or pepsi dissolve a piece of chalk quicker depending on its pH levels?

coke is pretty acidic, it is around pH 3.2 and since chalk is a carbonate, it undergoes the a classic acid base reaction similar to the vinegar + baking soda reaction. so it would appear to an observer like it is dissolving fasterbut i think if this is a homework question your teacher has asked a flawed question becase the chalk does not dissolve it reacts which is two different things (chemical change vs physical change)also you have to keep in mind the fact that coke is a pretty saturated solution as it has ~40g of glucose/fructose and this can affect solubility

What happens when you add Diet Coke to Mentos?

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.


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 does the temperature of coke affect the chemical reaction of coke and Mentos?

no but if it's warm it's not as tasty


Do proteins control chemical reactions in a cell?

Yes the protein from your blood stream runs to the lungs leaving them to cause a chemical reaction. You can create chemical reactions in your body using coke and mentos


What is the replacement reaction to baking soda and vinegar?

I think that Coke and Mentos will do the trick. It has to be REGULAR COKE!The Mint Mentos will work the best.

How does coke effect metal?

Coke does not effect metal, but it can remove rust from metals because of the reaction of the chemical substance "Phosphorous Acid" (chemical formula: H3PO4).


What will happen if I insert the vinegar into baking powder?

It'll cause a chemical reaction. jdiesel121... this is true it will cause a chemical reaction but depending on the amount of vinegar you put in the powder is how the two react like if you put a little bit of vinegar in alot of powder then it wont do much but if you put alot of vinegar in alot of baking powder then it will be like putting a whole pack of mentos in a two leater of diet coke it goes every where.


What is the chemical reaction of pop rocks and coke?

The pop rocks fizz and sizzle and give out CO2 just like they do in your mouth. They do not kill you as the popular myth says.


What happens when you microwave Diet Coke with Mentos inside of it?

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.


What erupts better vinegar with baking soda or Diet Coke with mentos?

Bkng soda vinegar is a CHEMICAL reaction, a chemical change occurs giving CO2 and water. The rate depends on the conc. of your vinegar, temperature and the surface area of the soda (fine powder)Mentos/coke is a PHYSICAL reaction, no chemical change occurs (though sugar dissolves and eventually hydrolyses to glucose, but this is incidental). The same thing happens with Mentos and carbonated water.CO2 dissolved in the coke is released by a process called nucleation on the surface of the mentos.A rough surface is better than a smooth one, so this might be a useful area to investigate for your project.The mentos reaction is probably fastest under most conditions, and you can experiment with temperature, acid strength, different types of Mentos (some are smooth and are rubbish), fizzy drinks with different amounts of sugar dissolved, lots of variables are there if you think about it.


What are some cool science fair projects?

One cool project is what chemical reaction does mentos and coke make after mixing them!
